Kustomizer Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Seems like I learn something new with every seat I make. This time it was with sealing the seat up. I really liked the way this seat turned out. Here are a few pics: I took these inside as the sun reflects too much off of it outside. But this is a pic of the bottom I took outside that gives a better feel for the color. Well, it's on to the next project! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it's on to the next project! OUTSTANDING! I LOVE this color combo! I see you've "Settled" your lace. I always go around the outer edge with rubber mallet and "tamp" the lace too.

Kustomizer Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Awesome looking seat! So, please do share with us what you learned this time about sealing up seats. Nothing huge, but I will use satin sheen next time, not super sheen. I ended up adding a couple of coats of satin over the super and it took some of the glossy away, but not exactly the way I'd like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Troy, and you're the second person who said that I "tamp" or "settle" my lacing, but I don't, that's just how I lace. I try very hard to work the lace every time through to keep things as tight and even as I can. Hopefully I'm doing things right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can convince two people "in the business" that your tamping the lace and YOU'RE NOT, You're doing it right! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
