i am not an expert but i thought seams were supposed to be done with upholstery glue, not Velcro. i would be happy with those results on my truck...
@TheUpholsteryStudioКүн бұрын
@@jeffeustice to be honest me either, but the original had Velcro on the seams the same way. If it were up to me I would have done it 100% different, but you’re pretty much limited to how the factory designed it. It’s a struggle with factories I swear

I use the Air Locker Model:U630L2 . I spent a good 30 mins trying to find a site you could order from but it looks like its discontinued. I found this one on amazon that is off brand but looks IDENTICAL to mine and is 1/3rd of the price. (type this in on amazon) H7116LSP-KT 22 Gauge 3/8-Inch Crown Pneumatic Upholstery Stapler with Long Nose, Air Stapler Kit, with 6000 Staples, 1/4-Inch to 5/8-Inch. mine was around $120. i also try to use 3/8th crown stainless staples for all of my upholstery. There are other Air Locker staple guns that i haven't used, but I'm sure are just as good. Hope this helps!

Looking into starting doing upholstery but not sure about it yet. I look at this as a hobby that will bring in a small amounts of money from time to time before I can take it more seriously (I have a good paying full-time job now). As well as a good skill to make valuable gifts with my own hands. Don't really want to invest into sewing machine at this point, what would you recommend?
