Yes, so when I said to bunch the material, she described it as gathering. She was using four way stretch but you can do it with the 2 way. The main reason I went with the DIY was I didn’t want the blacktip logo,
Marine Vinyl is $18.98 + $17 shipping and tax = $35.95The shipping must be substantial for marine vinyl fabric.com then? Compared to DIY shipping. I really couldn’t offer any advice on Color, will either place send you a sample by mail? I’m in Iroquois Ontario and DIY said 50.00 to send me a sample so I said no. Was disappointing as they should have been able to put it in an envelope and mail it for whatever regular international postage is, probably 3.00 or so (been awhile since I’ve mailed an actual letter) I went ahead and ordered the purple and I was very pleased with the Color but it was and would be a concern for me too if I was ordering another. Are you planning to instal it over the old vinyl? I’m thinking it will turn out real nice going over the old vinyl, should give it some rigidity.
Curious why you wouldn’t go over the old vinyl? With the seat I did with the DIY flat vinyl I took the vinyl off because it had multiple cracks that had turned up, lots of missing foam that had rotted away, wish I had used the 1/4 foam to pull over first to hide the small imperfections but in Big Jakes circumstance with it only being 1 crack and no missing foam if he uses the flat vinyl wouldn’t he be better off going over the old vinyl as the old vinyl is glued down, slightly more firm than the DIY vinyl and although the old vinyl can be taken off Without damaging it, it can be tricky. I’ve never went over the old vinyl but have an HX that has no rips and vinyl is faded. I was planning on going over the old vinyl on that one. Would make the seat firmer and more like original. Anyways, yes what problems would come from going over it?Not the best orientation, but before and after
Personally I would probably pull it. Have never tried it in a ski so I don’t know how it would compress and release with multiple layers as you sit on it and stand up, or possibly not breathe as well to let water evaporate out. To me I’d just rather not risk having to redo it, but that’s just my personal thoughts.If that became an issue maybe pulling the old staples and trimming an inch or so of the old vinyl off where it attaches to the base would remedy that? Then your only stapling through the 1 layer.

Yes I plan to install over the old vinyl. I'll duct tape the cracks. to smooth it out.
Yes, Sorry, I've been meaning to post an update but have been at he lake house the past few days doing maintenance.Any updates, did you receive the samples yet,
Our lakehouse is in central PA, 85 degrees yesterday and a nicer 76 today. So far my relaxation at our "vacation" home has consisted of picking up a million branches from the major wind storms the past couple weeks, cutting the grass and power washing the house and decks. I got tree guys coming 7 am monday to cut 4 trees down, so more fun with the subsequent cleanup.. I need a vacation every time we get home after spending time at our "vacation" house.it’s been great weather to be working at your lake house if your getting the same weather as us here in eastern Ontario. Hopefully that adhesive works out for you, too bad you weren’t able to open the crack up enough to use the gorilla spray adhesive as it bonds on contact and yeah that’s weird that box saying not for marine use, have to check the boxes I have left over to see if it says the same on them.
Lol, hard to feel sorry for you but yeah always lots to do when the seasons change.Sounds about the same as here. We got some ice rain about 7 or 8 days ago caused a lot damage to the trees and power outages followed by heavy rain so lots of flooded basements, but has been gorgeous since.

Lol, just converted it. 75 Fahrenheit24 Celsius??? Talk American, we don't know what that shit means here. LOL
When people ask me what gauge my pistol is, I tell them 0.354331 inches LOLLol, just converted it. 75 Fahrenheit
US gvmt tried to convert us to the metric system back in the 70's but it didn't fly. They started putting both Imperial and Metric labels on everything thinking they could slowly switch over, here we are 50 years later still with both measurements on every label but no actual progress toward conversion.When people ask me what gauge my pistol is, I tell them 0.354331 inches LOL
yea much easier to grasp if that's what you grew up with. I was born in 59 so was well indoctrinated in the old system when they attempted the switch in the 70s and most people were just opposed having to learn something new so it was a total failure.. I honestly don't know if they currently put more emphasis on teaching kids the metric system in grade school now or not. Good questions to ask my niece the next time I see here if her grade school kids are being taught the metric system. If they did, the change could occur naturally rather than trying to force feed it as they did in the 70s. But of course the current emphasis is on teaching grade school kids that there are 87 genders and they can decide which one they want to be on any given day and instructing them on how to get a sex change so they can be on a beer can., I just googled up when we switched. I guess 1975, the year I was born. We have converted most things here, pop cans are in ml, gas is by the litre but I pretty much always use a standard tape measure, Lumber is still standard You get used to using both, especially when your forced to
