Great lesson on upholstery foam from a good teacher who is a very good man.

[mintybadlamb]

A whole week of humour and learning in one hit. Thank you

[duckhunter]

ThxQ. Been waiting for this. Not all of your subscribers are Upholsterers'. Some of us are just DIY'ers.

[ericsteinbach]

This right here is what will make the project go so much better

[eddieperez]

Great advice Rudy! I always use the best scrim. A lot of people think I charge too much for my upholstery work. But it takes lots of physical labor. Plus the cost of living has gone up too. Thank you again!!!Eddie

The smile at the end was CLASSIC 👍🏼 it’s like the smile I get watching the weather in Alabama, when they say the humidity is going up and it is already above 70% 😝

I was recently in an Audi Q5 sport model, the seats were so firm that I found it an unpleasant ride. His wife has the more luxurious model and it was way better. That’s why test drives matter. When I had my dining room chairs reupholstered the shop owner gave me padding to sit on and decide thickness and density, he like you was very knowledgeable and wanted the customer to be happy.

Loved the video thumbnail shoot being kept in. Thank you for the foamy tips too!

[Dennis-qije]

I love your technique series. Numbering them is a great way to keep track of them😂
I love the information you share! I'm, for the most part, self-taught in upholstery.

[miceinoz]

I know absolutely nothing about upholstery! But I know a little more now though. Brilliant information.

[AntMan-bl]

Without going into too much detail you can't imagine how much the knowledge contained in this video has helped me out.
Many, many thanks.

Awesome video, I'm an old upholsterer from 90's to now. Don't forget the 1 inch push for foam sizing so upholstery fits foam snug

[ShadowsOnTheScreen]

I learn something new EVERY episode. Thank you!

[gregvanderboom]

Thank you for the foam video. I've have bucket seats I'm working on now from a 66 Rambler where the foam has turned to dust. The seats have coil springs with a layer of foam on top of the springs and foam in the cover for the pleats. All the foam is just dust so it's hard to tell what kind and thickness of foam was there. There's several layers of cotton linen that I guessed was used like scrim. Boy, I tell you what it's the most complicated car upholstery I've experienced with nylon webbing, listing wires and bungie cords. Thank you for the video and sharing your experience. I appreciate you my friend!

[deankay]

Great information about proper automotive foam, also used on motorcycles, a couch and chairs. Thanks kindly for sharing. DK

[zamis]

Thank you so much!!! I am trying to find foam to rebuild my waterbed and this is the best info I have found!!

[sirKorndogg]

Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. I am 10000% DYI but sometimes you just can't get the info needed!!! Again THANK YOU!

[als]

Excellent video intro to foam, needed that !

I make bags for SUV’s and I been using the 1/4” sew foam and Dacron for years. Yes I did put a #17 needle through my thumb once and believe me there is no resistance once your thumb is under a needle it just goes through as if nothing is there. I wasn’t able to use my thumb for a couple of days.
