Anyone Know About Upholstrey Work?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone can link me to some places to read and learn or how tos or maybe you have projects I can look at. Been looking around for ideas and forums but not much luck. Tried fiberglass forums.com but it's been days and I still haven't got email confirmation to login.

Or are you talking about doing seats?

You mentioned fgforums so i figured you meant doing panels..

ray do you have to stitch some fabric together to cover a door like that or maybe even a door with a little more speakers at the bottom or can you just stretch vinyl across it?

whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah

I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here.

No, you're on the right track. It's my door panels I'm working on but by the time I'm finished I know I won't be able to wrap it without doing some upholstery work to get the shapes it has. Just too big of an area with to get in one go. Tried and had no luck with heating the vinyl. And I'm not a huge fan of the painted look.

This door is zero stitching. Since im building the whole thing from scratch i can build it how i can wrap it.

Just keep an eye on it robert and it should explain how to do it.

Start buying floral foam now.

The soft blocks that you can stick your finger in.

4blocks for 7.00 at a craft store.
