NEW! Please support my channel by BUY ME A COFFEE Here: https://coff.ee/oldschoolupholstery ☕ In this tutorial, we tackle a severe dog-chewed Can-Am Spyder seat that looks completely ruined. Instead of replacing the entire seat from scratch, I walk you through my 50-year upholstery techniques to pattern, cut, and sew custom red vinyl inserts, repair chewed-up foam, and stretch and staple the cover back onto the shell for a factory-fresh custom look. Whether you're working on motorcycle seats, jet skis, boat cushions, or automotive upholstery, the principles and steps remain the same! 📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video: • How to assess torn upholstery and plan section replacements • Patterning, adding seam allowances, and sewing scrim-backed vinyl • How to take apart and fix sewing mistakes cleanly • Repairing damaged seat foam with contact adhesive and shaping it • Using heat gun techniques to stretch, contour, and staple tight vinyl covers ☕ Support the Channel & Book Consultations: • Buy Me a Coffee / Book a 1-on-1 Consultation: https://buymeacoffee.com/OldSchoolUpholstery/e/563438 • Check out Channel Memberships & Courses: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIHx2kT26b5I • Follow our new journey & channel TEXAS ENDS Palawan Begins: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPxAjliHE6tg 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tune in every Sunday afternoon for our Mailbag segment answering your upholstery questions!
