my £8 kashi mx ebay purchase bought back to life

<< < (4/5) > >>

monkian:
Really nice work fellas :daumenhoch:
Any details on the materials you've used and the application process?

mark 2:
Suede dug out by mrs, contact adhesive from wickes, £2 ish. Cut the material to fit seat with a generous overlap, cover seat in adhesive and stretch material over smoothing out the creases. When it dries start work underneath. Trim the excess material back leaving about a 1cm all around. Glue the lip underneath, about 1cm all around,  do a section at a time so you can concentrate on getting it right and not racing against time with glue drying.  The nose is the trickiest bit, depending on how thick your material is. Usually needs a couple of slits so it doesn't bunch up too much and to sit right. Press the material into the glue and fingers crossed it won't look shit
