Better to use that upholstery foam in the background, cut around the areas of damaged foam so it has straight edges and replace with new. Then warm the vinyl in the sun and stretch it over the repaired foam using a hair dryer. Expanding foam won't give until it collapses and doesn't retain a good memory.

Thanks for sharing mate, gives one the perseverance that is required to pull things off, from a seadoo seat re-cover to a classic whatever one’s got

@lmt-adventures620 Год назад

Good work! Got one with just plastic left. Foamed the whole thing and after it dried it shaped it down and now looks brand new.

@stacyreid5077 3 года назад

PS you did a great job with the seat and tutorial on seat covers 👍🏻👍🏻

@stacyreid5077 3 года назад

My mom and I recovered the seats on my SXS about 7-8 years ago with marine grade vinyl and thread 🧵 but last summer the thread started coming apart once it started sitting in the weather more , that plus my big dogs 80lbs & 120lbs started to sit in the seats.

Thanks Ben. Ive been doing this for years. Despite what the anti spray foam people say- It works and it lasts. Ive fixed dozens and dozens of seats

BRILLIANT JOB, UK

@handyhippie6548 3 года назад

only problem i can see with this is spray foam is rigid, and not very springy. once it is crushed, it will be lower in that spot. i usually use old couch cushion foam to refoam seats. the foam anti fatigue floor mats are a good source of cheap, denser foam for places when you need more support, and less squish.

@carminecarlone2869 Год назад

So how do you attach those foams to the seat? I need to do something similar on a bike I got

@handyhippie6548 Год назад

@@carminecarlone2869 i use 3m spray glue. just follow the instructions on the can. you can find cheaper spray glue, but since it is something you only want to do once, it's worth using the best. an old electric carving knife is the easiest way to shape the foam.

@BudgetRC_Channel 2 года назад

The spray foams that I've tried dry hard and if you compress it, it stays compressed with no rebound. Is the spray foam that you used more compliant?

@LoneScout1 Год назад

In the case of my Seadoo seat, with a lateral crack across the seat foam but no actual gaps…that a spray adhesive would be better than a spray foam as there is no gap to fill.

@momoloo141 3 года назад

Nice work, what kind of spray foam would you recommend? I restored several seats, but they had no deep holes, so I shaved them down and upholstered them with a layer of thin foam. Also you didn't use glue for the vinyl before stapling. I will definitely try this the next time, too. Thanks for your input 😁

@t.h.o.r. 3 года назад

Yes never glue the vinyl- It needs to move to stretch to fit

@TheCbj79 10 месяцев назад

Can you fit it in the back there whit out the sewing? I have a hard hard seat that i bought repros for. But i can get the curls away in the back going incane doing this, Can you show if you hav a trick for that a almost llike a 3.5cm middle look like a smile in the back squear tho corners are about 4.5cm squear seller says it's easy. But no... there is streatch in it both ways but i think to thik

@modoc852 2 года назад

First time aye

@michaelannen4168 10 месяцев назад

This foam turns to powder when compressed

@charlys1219h Год назад

Great video but not Great job You could do a top stitch on the back and put another layer of padding to disguise the foam repair !! Also all depends how much did $ changed 🤔.. I considered that too 🤫

@hughstratton8767 2 года назад

Great job other than it must be painful to sit on

@t.h.o.r. 2 года назад

Whaaaaat!?- it feels just as it should- I explained that this particular brand of foam is perfect for the job! If I was doing a crap job people would not bring me seats every week! sheesh! give people a keyboard and they become instant experts! lol.

@digschopper9321 2 года назад

I think what he means ,at least here in the States,is the only expanding foam is rigid. If I could find expanding soft foam,I'd be ecstatic.

I hope the front stays on🤞

@999benhonda 7 месяцев назад

To those saying the spray foam will be hard, that is true of every brand ive ever used...however, the hard ones can't be cut that easy with a knife. That brand he uses must be a different formula

@t.h.o.r. 7 месяцев назад

after trying 4 brands I settled on this one. Ive done many many quad bike seats car seats jet ski seats, dirt bike seat repairs and modifications with great results. Thanks so much for your comment Ben.
