Damaged Seat
Hi all,
I was working away happily in the garage yesterday when there was an almighty clatter. As I glanced up I saw some old curtain poles falling from the
rafters. With mongoose like reactions I launched myself over the car and caught one but failed to stop the other.
Is there a point to this story I hear you sigh. Well 'fortunately' my car managed to avoid the lovely pole being damaged unfortunately
this put a small rip into the outer edge of the seat. I was not a happy bunny.
Anyway - onto the reason for this post - does anyone know of any good products that can mend small rips in vinyl? I have had a look on eBay and there
seems to be some stuff for about a tenner but am not sure if they will be any good. Anyone got any hints of tips, dos and donts?
Please help........
Thanks
Chris

Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Always use the stuff designed for the job, vinylweld is a glue - I cannot remember for the life of me what it is for
Cut a small bit of vinyl from under the seat, back up the tear and apply goosefat or that other stuff I mentioned
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

That's no mean feat... I was attacked by a mongoose a couple of months ago (I'm not joking) and those things are sodding fast!
If I hadn't batted it away with my hand I'd have been in trouble!
Cheers,
James
