Making a minicel foam seat for a kayak using a right angle grinder and sanding disks. For more information about making your own seat, visit: www.guillemot-k...
Nice grinder wheels...I use a paint stripper wheel and sandpaper. I like to add a drain groove on the underside to help with sponging water from the boat.
I made mine almost exactly the same way ten years ago. I finished it with some fabric from a auto seat cover and contact adhesive. It fits my ass perfectly to this day. I can spend all day in it without getting sore.
Good work. Where did you get the foam. I am looking to make a solid backrest for my Hurricane Santee 116 kayak. The bottom is great, but a high back rest would complete the seating situation. Thanks.
It looks nice, but You are spreading a lot of MICRO-PLAST. Please consider a way to minimize this. Kayaking is about enjoying nature. Lets keep it clean. :-)
I'm suprised you did this outdoors. Furthermore, your video encourages other people to do the same...

Nice video, but I hope that people does this kind of jobs inside to keep the foam dust from spreading in the nature.
What is wrong with you?

would marine glue work for this? not sure what to use that won't melt the polyethylene or the foam.
@@jennysmith6604 I believe Marine glue would work. Spray-on contact adhesive melted neither for me.
Thanks very good video. What kind of foam was that?
It is not important that the seat be soft if it is shaped right. You don't need much cushion when the shape is good.
excessively soft seat impairs blood flow

I like the project, but not the place. All this grated foam out in nature...
There is hardly any cushion left to support the butt...... :-(.... :(
