How to Repair Driver Seat Foam using kitchen knife and Tapered Grater Home-made DIY.

[@Fullcartstapiceria]

Amigo, gracias por los videos, yo quebré en Bogotá Colombia con las cuarentenas, y decidí que cambiaría de profesión, solo mirando sus videos llevo ganados más de 2000 dólares, le agradezco a UD y a los que hacen videos de tapicería porque con estos vídeos pude alimentar a mi familia, llevo dos meses trabajando y la meta es llegar a Estados Unidos a trabajar algún día, muchas gracias

[@mecaupholsterytips]

Qué bonito leer su comentario colega y videos están cumpliendo el propósito que es ayudar a todas aquellas personas que por ahora emotivo deciden aprenderlo qué es tapicería.

[@Cin_Cont2519]

Hola, me encantó tu comentario, muchas felicidades👍🏼 oye, ¿haber si tú quieres orientarme? pretendo tapizar mis asientos, y veo que la persona del vídeo utiliza un pegamento especial que no requiere espera de secado, soy de México, y acá pensaba utilizar un pegamento de contacto, llamado resistol 5000, pero este si debes dejar de secar maximo unos 15 min. ¿Qué pegamento me recomiendas utilizar? Gracias de antemano.

[@mecaupholsterytips]

Thankful watch this video and I'm glad you like it

[@ryanhoranable]

this was badass, very glad I watched this before buying new foam.

[@Gabrielle-blow-the-horn-5565]

Wow! I have watched about five relevant videos on foam replacement for the driver seat. I was about to get started with just a few more tools. But after watching yours I’m going to go out and buy more tools and a few cans of spray glue. I’ve never seen any job done with such craftsmanship. And I can see your hands feel and touch with an assessment of the foam as you work. So the lack of audio was just fine because we could see it all in action. But in retrospect, I see you didn’t have to do the work of getting those little attachment rings off the bottom of the seat. That’s must have saved about 30 minutes.

[@Ndlanding]

I watched, hypnotized. Fabulous techniques.

Exelente muy bueno lo del asiento de la moto con costuras de forma de diamantes mis felicitaciones desde Arequipa_Perú.

[@jmfb.1984]

I think it's a good video, you manage to combine ingenuity, creativity to solve a problem, many times there are no options to fix it, for lack of parts or high cost of them, in the end a great solution and a good job from my point of sight. Greetings Mecca. I believe that you are an artisan, my area of work has more to do with the mechanics, electricity and electronics of the car, we are part of a generation that somehow we have much to contribute, but much of the current system is making us disappear unfortunately . My passion is all the car, its maintenance and care.

[@mecaupholsterytips]

Yep one on this video i just give you an idea how you can fix it with you don't have to have expensive tools we can get can fix this a seat with the regular thing that we use it at the house thanks for watch my videos

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

Thanks for the video! Wow you are talented! Let me share what has worked very well for me for FREE MATERIAL!, much of which I've learned from my brother who is a professional upholster, with making a new bench or van bench seat or boosting old car seat foam: For car seats that need boosting, most often they just need more foam added to be like new again, I find used carpet pad foam often in a neighbor's trash or dumpster behind a carpet store. Remove the car seat fabric clips and carefully peel the front and sides of the fabric to gain access under the seat foam core, which often requires the seat be unbolted from the floor. Place a sheet of it or two under the seat foam core, right on top of the spring wire deck(carpet pad foam is tougher than the core so this also stops the spring wire deck from cutting into the seat foam core bottom). Your second sheet can be cut smaller just covering the area the butt sits on. Also inspect the top of the foam core and add carpet pad foam or regular foam where might be needed like by the door, worn from getting in and out over the years. Spray adhesive can be used to bond the foam to the foam but is not necessary except for any top foam added to the side. Your seats will be firm and new like for many years now, it's like free magic! The seat back usually doesn't need a any foam because it's the seat that gets the body weight on it from gravity. If you seat back should need a boost, you can add polyfill batting on top of the foam for free-see below. These methods can also be used on sofa seat cushions. I'll share below where to find FREE used good foam below! To make a bench- where to get free foam: there is so much FREE foam and FREE polyfill - in many soft pillow backs and polyfill batting often wrapped around foam cushions for the taken in people's discarded sofa's and chairs found outside dumpsters at apartment complexes and the back of thrift stores. Even though it's used, it has been well protected covered inside the upholstery. Of course in the event it's a cat lady's furniture and the cats happened to piss all over it, you'll smell it and know to move on lol Most apartments don't allow pets or make it expensive to have a pet so a lot of furniture is pet free. Use a box cutter to open the old furniture to get at the free foam or poly as you need or use the zipper you'll find on some pieces. Some foam in old sofas contain like a 1" thick panel of foam on top of other foam that is perfect thickness to add to your sofa foam to give it the new boost again. Foam can be cut to size using a hack saw loose blade only in your hand holding the end making a sawing motion. New foam looses some of it's firmness over a break in period, say after 5 years depending on how much it's sat on. But then the broken in foam lasts a very very long time at that softer level firmness before it really starts to break down. You might be able to buy complete new expensive foam cushion cores but they will sag after the break in period as well. This is why so often we love a new firm piece of furniture but then it gets soft and saggy on us. Now the sofa companies could to put super firm more expensive foam in their sofa's when new that might be a perfect firmness for us when broken after the 5 years break in period, but then we wouldn't buy the sofa if it's not nice to sit on from the beginning in the show room, so there's the dilemma when you fabric is still in great shape after 5 years but the foam is now sagging. The free home furniture-sofa fix: So just add more foam if you can firms it up to make it like new again, unzip and compress the foam as you slowly peel off your fabric from the cushion core. Then either add more foam to the top or bottom or hack blade saw through the center horizontal line of the foam core all the way from the back to almost through the front but not through, so you leave a good hinge of foam in the front. Then place about a 1" thick of used foam in the sandwich and holding it closed peel the fabric back over the foam cushion. You can also add more polyfill pad to the cushion core on it's outside to add more softness and support but adding more foam is the big boost. Spray adhesive is optional to bond the foam to the foam. People often think that when the seat sags that the springs under the cushions, have weakened but no, it's the foam, the springs are metal and strong, the foam is just foam. Discarded trash at a dumpster is free for the taking and your reducing what goes to our planet's landfill. This is win win, real free hard core recycling, helping to save our environment as well! Take care!

@@nunezj8950 ...lol... I won't do that to you or anybody else. You would have loved my pop. He taught everybody. There's several shops in town that house trimmers that started with my dad. I don't just do street rods and muscle cars. I started building and modifying furniture when I was nine. I love doing boat tops now. They're fast clean and the money is very good. It's fun doing automotive but being versatile is important for those days when there isn't much to derive. I should note I'm not full time anymore. I did some crabbing in 79-80-81 and hitting my head over a dozen times rendered my brain as effective as a fucked up linebacker. My personality keeps changing after each concussion.
