Good job explaining as you go.

Thank you so much for these videos

Thanks for your videos! I am new to upholstery. Am i right to assume that for boats, commercially made covers are unavailable? Does boat upholstery differ from auto upholstery in other ways such as materials? Thanks again

Some covers are available, sometimes you have to buy the whole seat. Just depends on the boat. Marine and auto kind of similar. I dont see any boats with real leather and Usually dont staple auto seats.

Hi there! Was looking for a video on patterning… so thank you! When you steam your foam and fit it back onto the board, do you make sure there is approximately 1/2” overhang? If there is not, do you add foam? What happens if you pattern / template your foam and it has shrunk too much so that the vinyl will be too tight for the board? Do you ever measure the board to make sure you are getting accurate measurements? Hope this all makes sense

I dont check the over hang when reusing the foam. I have never had it where the foam was too small for the backboard with out any deterioration, then I repair the foam, then yes I give it a little extra. I measure the board after making a template the foam, it always comes out. Even when making new cushions, I measure the form from the backboard, then the cover from the foam.
