John here I worked for a glass company for 32 years . They make a caulking gun with more mechanical advantage much easier to squeeze relatively inexpensive. Thanks for the videos

It's a shame we all lose our KUNG-FU GRIP. Thanks to you, I have been getting my Belair Upholstered from scratch. I'm not a PRO, I tell everybody, I'm SLOW. But it's getting done. Thanks, Richard.
Great result!! 👏👏👏 As I have read in another comment, there are other types of caulking guns which are more robust, meant for thicker adhesives or silicones, with a different design, that allows to use them easier, with less force. Here in Spain, a normal gun costs between 2 and 5 dollars and the stronger one about 15 - 20 dollars, and they make life easier, so I strongly recommend you to get one, for next similar job 😉😉
Hello Delta, It is not very often I have to use Urethane. I guess that is why I never sought out a better caulk gun. I like your recommendation though! Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery 👍👍👍 Good to know about the available options, just in case, as the stronger gun comes handy also for household repairs with regular silicone cartridges, as they can be applied using less force, which makes the operation more accurate 😉
Had this issue when I was young and unfamiliar with glass and convertible tops or soft tops. Person used airplane glue and while it worked it wasn’t pretty.
Hello Rufus, Thank you so much for saying so. I would consider if it really was an upholstered seat and not a plastic molded seat. And if you were near me in Texas. If not, just Google "Upholstery shop near me". Please keep liking and watching!
Hey Richard would it help to warm up the tube to make the urethane flow a little better or would that make things more difficult? looks like you were struggling a little.
Hello Martinez, I have never used Urethane on a plastic window. I would imagine it would work as the Urethane is very strong. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello i have a 94 cadillac fleetwood top need to be replaced. The top is cracked. Do those cars come with/ without padding? If so do you know a wen site where i can get the padding for it and also the top? I know topsonlie is 1 but i dont think i need to pay 400 for it lol. If i had to pay it i would.
Seems like a paid promotion? I love your videos, but this one is a bit off-topic. Besides that, there are plenty of products available from different manufacturers for windshield installation. Silka?

You have some good teaching vids for a new beginner. Would you consider doing a metal frame tractor seat reupholster?

I wonder if there aren't air or battery operated caulk guns. Sometimes you need super human strength to get any meaningful amount out.

Can I use this on the clear vinyl window or do you recommend another adhesive?

Heat up that tube of urethane... Put it in a bucket of hot water or in the sun. You won't have to squeeze so hard.
