Padding Thickness

[LeatherCaptain]

Hello,

Back to the well again....

A friend of mine has asked me to redo his solo seat for him and I have really admired a lot of the work I've seen here on the forum. For those of you who build out solo pan-style seats (i.e. The Dave Thiebold style), what thickness neoprene rubber/foam are you using? I was thinking of ordering 1" thick neoprene that Dave recommends from Foam n more that has an adhesive side.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Captain, I never use anything but 3/4 high density neoprene on my solos

My customers order anything from 1/4" neoprene up to 3/4" on solo saddles.

Where do you get your neoprene, local suppliers or online?

I've ordered from Seattle Fabrics before and just bought some from Foam n more (foamforyou.com). Seattle Fabrics has a ton of other materials. Order a catalogue...i think it's a couple of bucks but they have a ton of material.
