    Fix yer seat with AQS

    So here are the typicaly well thrashed corners on a naugahyde seat cover, both corners and the nose are thrashed but the seat is still functionaly OK it just looks like shit. I found the WTB Speed to be a really comfy seat to sit on so I thot why not fix it instead paying $$ to buy a new seat ?

    Before pictures ^^

    Both corners are all torn up so I colored them with a black sharpie cuz the AQS will be clear and the white would have shown thru but you don't really see black sharpie under the AQS

    After pictures^^

    last but not least the nose job on which i used painters tape to get that sharp line
    For the corners I splooged on the AQS product and taped a piece of plastic tightly on the corner to profile the seat, the plastic gives the AQS a smoove finish

    I ould have made more of an effort to getcleaner lines but I am reasonably happy with the results

    The AQS has had a couple days to cure and in case you wonder this will be a permanent fix

    Half a tube! That should be more than enough to glue the knobs back on a minion. I'm sure that'll be fine.

    it bothers me what you're doing to the mug of coffee. On multiple levels.
