you showed nice only sometimes change the position of the camera because it is hard to see and finally, when you put on a new cover, use warm air, then the fabric fits better 👍
Cheers Bud, only had one place to put the camera. I will be trying for more angles and videos. The vinyl I was using is a 4 way stretch with a slight gripper grain to it. It's the only vinyl that can get around the large corners without too much persuasion. I only use the heat gun if I need it.
@@stitchingsteve whatever it was, you did a nice job on this seat. Unfortunately, I have a fabric for work that only stretches in width. and I have attached my tripod to the ceiling above the workplace and I can rotate it so that it does not bother me, try it and you can do it
@@adacze Try find a vinyl that not only stretches along the bias but also either warp or wept. All three would be best. Ive got a newer camera with different mounts so will be trying that soon
@@stitchingsteve I tried but only one is available, besides my clients have different requirements so I have to sew patterns on the machine anyway. thanks for the advice
This was just a repair for a customer. Looked just like the thumbnail when I received it. You might have to ask your local upholsterer/motor trimmer and see what they can do for you. Thanks for watching and commenting
I think so, we call it Trim foam. It has a tricot (pronounced try-co) knit weave backing. Normally for strength when sewing panels up in auto/marine trimming. Thanks so much for watching!!!
What make and model foam knife are you using? That one looks nice. The speed up really didn't show what i was looking for which is the technique for making the outer material conform to the convex front of the seat without glue.
Foam saw is a - Bosch Gsg 300. The thin trim foam is glued over last to hide any imperfections in the foam beneath once repaired. You could do it without glue but it could shift and move around on you
@@stitchingsteve i meant how you have the outer vinyl laying down so clean over the top on the inside curve that sweeps up to the front. I did put a layer of thin open cell foam over the whole thing and the repair is undetectable
@@T0tenkampf Ahh I see. I gently dropped the oversized vinyl over seat base. Stapled center front and back without pulling any tension. Then work on front lowermost corners - Pull tension from center outwards towards those corners as much as possible without distorting the plastic seat. Then pull upwards towards front of seat, then work towards the back and sides
@@stitchingsteve ah ok i will try that. My seat is extremely pronounced in that curve so its been annoying me but i didn't want to resort to glue since it wasn't glued before
Killer vid and awesome job. What's in the cup gun (what glue?).....Also..have you considered that a mild thermoforming might help with fitting the vinyl cover? just a thot.
Hey, thanks for watching! In the spray gun is a contact adhesive. I try to use stretchy vinyl, those that aren't so forgiving I use my heatgun to help it ease around corners.
Depends what country you're in. I'd say if you managed to find one it would be plastic, foam and cover all in one. At full retail price either Genuine, NOS or aftermarket. Or pop in to your local upholsterer and they might me able to fix the one you have.
Heavier density that matches the better. The grey is 30/400, but I have since started using 42/500. ( 30 or 42 being the Density in kg/m3 and 400/500 being the Hardness in Newtons)
Not sure it has a retail name, look for the firmest you can? I've now switched to the pink coloured foam (see later videos) which is much firmer, more dense and more durable
Pure upholstery art .The multiple payer and final coating are better than orginal .Nice work in fast foward.
Wow. That’s a lot of work. Well done!
Dudes an artist!
You make it look so easy. Good job mate!
My seat looks exactly like this thanks to my German shepherd lol thanks man will try this tonight
Your talented with that foam saw, I usually have to sand for way longer than I want to
Thanks! Years of practice I guess. Can also use a wood rasp to knock rough edges off too!!
Lovely! Now I'd love to see someone do that to a seat with a back, like on a tractor or mower.
Thanks John, I'll try and remember to do that for another video.
Wow! Nice work!!!
เครื่องปาด ตัดเขาเรียกเครื่องไรครับ
Subscribed! What saw/knife is that? Cuts through like butter. Great video!
Thanks for watching! It's a Bosch foam saw, with 2 thin reciprocating blades. Like a glorified meat carving knife

@@T0tenkampf Fair enough. Some factory seats cant be copied. Sometimes sewing it is the only option.
Pro!

Is there somewhere I can buy a new seat for my wolverine because mine is totaled like no foam left just the plastic
