Boat seat repair

Jigger · 08-02-09, 09:40 AM

I have a few tears on my bass boat seats. It's a naugahide (sp?) type material. Any tips on how to repair the tears before they get too big?

Not sure there's much repair for vinyl tears short of tape and a heat gun. I do remember seeing some colored goop you put on, then cover with a grained pad and hit it with a heat gun - not sure where it may be available - have you tried a google on vinyl repair?
Here's one, but there are many:

Also another called liquid stitch:

Note: I don't know much about either and haven't used them, but they seem like inexpensive solutions to vinyl repair (assuming they work).

Thanks for the reply Abbey. I have looked at some of the products on the net. I was hoping someone who had actually used a product they liked would respond but I do appreciate your help.

Well hang on...maybe someone who's used a product with success will post a reply.
