Hello Blue, Ah, the great debate! Plastic or no plastic. I usually will not use it. Especially on wood boat cushions where the plastic traps the water and destroys the wood. The manufacturers do not use the plastic for waterproofing, but to aid the cover install by helping it to slide over the foam. Just sayin'. Please keep liking and watching!
I always put my initials on every seat ect that I do. Usually back side of foam. And I'll leave a not incase someone in the future covers the seat. Sometimes just write we are trying to reach you over your cars extended warranty
So I enjoy your videos a bunch, thank you. But my question is, how do you dead end over the back, like a model t or a sleigh (which is what I’m doing) need it to just stop over the back
Hello Santa, Thank you so much for saying so. When you say dead end, do you mean a raw edge? If so, You can also fold the edge or even use Hydem, just as I did here. Please keep liking and watching!

Great video I know one thing for a fact after owning dozens and dozens of boats and rebuilding boats all the extra stitching is a terrible idea for a boat that’s actually used a lot like tournament ski boats seems always start coming apart.

Hello User, Howdy neighbor! I will be closed the month of November to move to my new location in Indian Springs.

Richard, Time for my dumb question lol. On the big separation, where you sewed stitches down the middle before cutting and separating the backrest from the seat bottom . (I couldn’t see clearly enough). Did you leave a very small strip in between the sewing seams for the separation cut? I assume you did. . . Thanks Phillip Hall
Well, never mind on this one. I slowed the video down to 25 percent speed and zoomed all the way in on the cut and seen that you did cut in between. Thumbs up on the. GREAT video! Phillip
Double Diamond looks refresing and more modern but will work with many street rods and customs. You won't see it at Pebble Beach but who cares? I knew you could do it. How about large scissors to cut thick foam? Seems like it would work and be less labor (not that moving is bad and it is actually good) . Yes, a cheap hacksaw blade will last a lifetime for foam and cost a lot less than large scissors. Scissors leave no noticeable remnants.
Hello Kentucky, No harm done. I don't pay too much attention to nylon or polyester thread. It really is the same to me. Please keep liking and watching!

Haven’t found anyone on line who indicates how to bid the job.
Appreciate any help.
Hello Dans, I guess the formula would be, the person doing the work and experience. Geographical area, materials chosen, design and complexity of the item you are working on and so on. Please see this video: ruclips.net/video/WOuzM5UPqM4/видео.html Please keep liking and watching!
I have a 1973 Javelin and all my plastic is faded amd crumbling. Replacement parts are ridiculously high! How can I redo my car without using the stock plastic?
Hello Gregory, Making new parts is really a challenge isn't it? Depending on the shape and size of the parts, you can make something in fiberglass, wood, or a stiff cardboard and cover it in vinyl maybe? Please keep liking and watching!

I haven’t tried it nor have the equipment. But I hear the 3-D printers can good for duplicating some plastic stuff.

Bro I never realized you are only 15 - 20 minutes from me. You will definitely be hearing from me within the next month or so. Do you allow walk-ins or do I need to schedule a time and day when I'm ready? I love your work and the stuff you come up with my man.
Hello User, Howdy neighbor! I will be closed the month of November to move to my new location in Indian Springs. It's always a good idea to call ahead before you come by as I am spending a lot of time working on the new building. My number is on my website.

Richard, Time for my dumb question lol.
On the big separation, where you sewed stitches down the middle before cutting and separating the backrest from the seat bottom . (I couldn’t see clearly enough). Did you leave a very small strip in between the sewing seams for the separation cut? I assume you did. . .
Thanks
Phillip Hall
Well, never mind on this one. I slowed the video down to 25 percent speed and zoomed all the way in on the cut and seen that you did cut in between. Thumbs up on the. GREAT video!

Double Diamond looks refresing and more modern but will work with many street rods and customs. You won't see it at Pebble Beach but who cares? I knew you could do it. How about large scissors to cut thick foam? Seems like it would work and be less labor (not that moving is bad and it is actually good) . Yes, a cheap hacksaw blade will last a lifetime for foam and cost a lot less than large scissors. Scissors leave no noticeable remnants.
Hello 4 speed, Well, decades ago, I used to used scissors for foam. Just another way of getting things done. Please keep liking and watching!

Throwing sissors down in your sewed diamonds is not a good ideal. 😂😂 You prefer nylon over polyester thread?
Hello Kentucky, No harm done. I don't pay too much attention to nylon or polyester thread. It really is the same to me. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Fair enough, good video.
Rumor has it that polyester thread stands up to the UV exposure a bit better
It matters when you live in sunny places. Nylon is stronger with zero UV resistance. I say zero loosely but it's accurate. @@Timberns
@@AskLeRoy I prefer nylon for indoor use but most boat cushions are going to be exposed to a good bit of sunlight.
Your old pattern is perfect...unkind comments by keyboard warriors with no talent should move on and leave you be!
