- In this video we will show you how to make your own Coaming pads for your boat. Every step of the process will be shown from cutting the foam to size, what we suggest for a backer board, cutting the seating vinyl fabric, sewing the ends, stapling and if no silk film is used - installing vent grommets. We will be using a vinyl channeling fabric from Sailrite called EverSoft.

It's a great job. But one thing I've learned is, start from the middle no matter what, AND make sure you cut relief slits on both sides. On larger projects, as in this one shown, the piece becomes racked, where one end has a lot more fabric left over on one end of the end cap. @18:22 you can really see it.
Great video 🤙🏴☠️🤟

How much will it cost me if I order one from you guys.
The vinyl seems easy to tear and overstretch. What stitch length did you set the machine for?
We set the stitch length to 6mm.
@@SailriteDIY This video is great, I have made miniature versions of these for low overhangs in the cabin in addition to
several coaming backrests.
Why is v92 thread used, would tenera thread be better?
All PTFE thread is slightly more difficult to sew with than Polyester thread. You may want to watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/IA5tIajuuvU/v-deo.html It shows what you can expect when using Sailrite Lifetime Thread on an Oscillating Hook Sewing Machine. Now, if you have a Rotary Hook Sewing Machine, it will sew much better and easier. The clear PTFE thread does blend in fairly well, it always looks like fishing line to me. It is not a Monofilament, it is actually a strand of Teflon.
We usually consider two types of thread for outdoor projects: Polyester thread or PTFE thread. Sailrite carries two brands of PTFE thread: Sailrite Lifetime Thread (formally called Profilen PTFE) and Tenara PTFE. The PTFE threads will last the life time of the fabric no matter the climate they are used in and they are chemical resistant and fade proof. However, PTFE threads are more costly and slightly more difficult to sew with. Sailrite Lifetime Thread PTFE sews easier than Tenara brand PTFE threads on an oscillating hook sewing machine (like what the Sailrite Ultrafeed uses). Both sew wonderfully in a rotary hook sewing machine. Most customers pick Polyester thread because it is less expensive and easy to sew with. A Polyester thread is UV resistant, but its life is totally dependent on the amount of UV (and other outdoor elements) it is exposed to. If used in the Midwest a Polyester thread may last 5 to 10 years if used in the tropics or desert it may last only a few years (see chart below). If you purchase Polyester thread the best fade resistant colors are Black and White, they are solution dyed (colors run all the way through the thread) the other colors of Polyester threads are only coated on the surface and will fade faster.
@@SailriteDIY thank you, I own a Sailrite ultra feed as well as a Consew and always use Tenara thread on all my outdoor projects.
is that PVC or expanded PVC for backer boards?
This is where I got mine: www.menards.com/main/building-materials/siding/trim-boards/royal-reg-building-products-1-x-6-white-pvc-trim-board/1429218/p-1510903719701-c-13411.htm?tid=-5322963912221791900&ipos=2&exp=true
Why are inch boards really 3/4 inch? Why not make it either an inch or say the accurate measurement? What's the history behind that? If I bought a yard of fabric and only got 2.75 yards, I would not be amused.
Ya, I wonder the same thing. But that is what is standard in the commercial construction market. Nominal measurements traditionally refer to the size of the board when it was first rough cut, before it was dried and planed (smoothed). Actual measurements are the actual final size of the lumber after it has been dried and planed. But wait this is a PVC it is not wood, but it is actually trimmed to the finial size after it is made, so it applies.
