just finished my second seat

[tab69pr]

A fellow student of MMI wanted me to recover his lepera seat with flames for his bike. this is what i came up with. since im just starting I didnt know what i was getting into but i guess it turned out good.

Stretching leather is not fun at all!!!! but i guess if you have patience and time its worth the hassle.

tell me what you guys think, cause i want to keep getting better.

I will post pics of the seat on his bike as soon as i get some

Very cool looking, good job. What did you use to color it with?

I used eco-flo lime green stain with black oil stain.

This looks good on the bike. It looks like you got some ripples on the center of the seat huh? I had that problem too with the leather I was using. Did you glue the seat down too to the foam?

Looks good though.

I used eco-flo lime green stain with black oil stain.

Looks real nice,the green matches real well with tank and fender.

What did you seal it with.

Because I read that some people were having problems with eco-flo runing,color coming thru the sealers they used.

Here is the thread.

I just bought some for a purse that i'm going to make for my girlfriend.

So I would like to know if you had any problems with eco-flo.

thanks guys!

I did use glue but I didnt use it all over the top foam. just on the largest area of the seat and not too much at that. but for the next one I will use more glue if it would make it easier to form.

to seal the seat I used carnuba leather wax then sheen. I didnt have any problems with it running or seaping.
