@@djpar3492 The thin sew foam is 1/4 Inch cloth backed scrim. You definitely want a cloth-backed foam to sew too. Using headliner foam is BAD. Have you ever seen a headliner fall? The foam disintegrates and turns to dust. If you have seen TH-camrs use headliner foam, they gave very BAD advice!
was that a special foam backing for a boat seat or was it a normal foam with a backing ? and what did you have sewn to the vinyl for extra strength to staple thru?
Hi! Sure I could have done that, But when you have a ton of work as I do, you have to speed things up a bit. All this job was, was to Make An EASY Boat Cushion Cover for my customer. They got what they wanted as the original wood was used. Same as before. I agree with you that holes would make the seat cushions breath better. Thanks for watching!
You should have put holes in the wood backing to allow water to escape. The wood needs to be water proofed again. The foam should have been replaced and the new foam should overhang the edges about 1/2" and wrapped in Cushion Wrap Silk Film to protect it from water. I hope that is Marine grade vinyl and NOT Automotive vinyl (Not the same).
Hi! Thank you for the excellent advice! Also what needs to be factored in is how much the customer wants to spend. Because I would never do all of that for free.

The funny thing is if marine vinyl never failed, I would never be doing boat upholstery. I'm sorry, just my 43 years of experience speaking.

It's a pity you're skipping the preliminary steps like material choice and steps to adhere what looks like a thin foam layer to the vinyl ? ... 🇬🇧
Hello Dover, Like I always say, it is not rocket science. Just choose a material for your application, and. I use contact adhesive for anything I need to glue. Not too complicated right? Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery cool ! Not rocket science when you know. 4 way stretch vinyl ? Closed cell polyethylene foam ? (non absorbent ) M77 vs M88 ? Thread choice ? Recommended needle size? There are many questions for a Newby like me (that might seem obvious to the expert) ... Thanks for responding and keep up the great work 👍 ... 🇬🇧
@@doverivermedia3937 Hello Dover, You are so welcome! 4-way stretch vinyl? Very rarely used... Closed cell foam? very rarely used... I have only used T-92 bonded nylon or polyester thread for 44 years for everything. The needle I use for my Juki is 135x17 for everything. I never give much thought to any of this. This is why I always say it is not rocket science, really because it isn't. Just do it! Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery great thanks. Good luck with your channel 👍
