Curated by: Old School Auto Upholstery Techniques (409 videos)
Welcome back to Sunday Mailbag! In this episode, we tackle two great viewer questions covering technical upholstery materials and the mindset needed to succeed in any trade. 🧵 In this video, we cover: 1. Scrim-Backed Foam: When should you use 1/4" or 1/2" scrim foam versus nothing at all? We break down exterior marine upholstery, automotive seat repair, water drainage, and whether you really need to glue your materials before sewing. 2. Trade & Business Wisdom: Answering Sean's question on why good craftsmanship and business principles aren't "rocket science" and how these techniques apply whether you're in upholstery, plumbing, electrical, or home renovation. 💬 Have a question for next Sunday's Mailbag?
