What is welting?Waiting on the hidem and welting for the back of the pieces but nearly there!View attachment 203401View attachment 203403I couldn't get to the back of some bolts but my youngest can! And bought a pnuematic stapler after most was all done. Hope to do a final stretch for a couple little wrinkles and do the hidem etc.
A trick my local installer told me was to put them out in the hot sun for a little while to soften it a bit and some wrinkles will dissappear and the rest will be easier to straighten
Looking great. I have the exact same seat cushions and plan to get a complete set from Hugo. When you get the back rest cushions reinstalled can you snap a picture so I can see if they match mine?Waiting on the hidem and welting for the back of the pieces but nearly there!View attachment 203401View attachment 203403I couldn't get to the back of some bolts but my youngest can!

The strip that has the round part attached to it. On the seat backs they have it go 3/4 way around. It's the fancy stuff!What is welting?
Is that red & grey on the swim deck and red & tan inside the boat? If so, please explain. Boat looks great!After having used the bow seat filler cushions now that they have been reupholstered I think I only need hidem and/or welting on the filler cushion that may be used as a seat bottom or back (it’s the only cushion that people may see the bottom of while underway).
Here is a pro-tip for lack of a better term for the DYIers out there: Buy or borrow a staple gun with a long nose, to get into the spots / flaps between foam on the same cushion, for instance the captains chair and all cushions with piping.
Also don’t forget to use SS staples.
