Thank you, that's my next project.

I noticed you didn’t glue the safety switch area, very “safety first” of you! I’m glad you commented on my video a few weeks ago so I could find your channel. Love the content, you have a new subscriber!

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I spend a lot of time trying to hook switches up that others have bypassed on these old mowers.

Mr Bald Eagle, I fixed my seat just like your video. I used an oscillating tool to get the old glue out of the channel. Used the sand paper & Emory cloth to get it clean. Bought the spray and glue, like you had listed. I used the clamps and even had one slide off, just like your video. I had to use some ratchet straps to hold the seat down, as I didn't have enough of the bigger clamps. All turned out great. I was going to post some pictures but I guess you can't do that on KZread. New hood, took the fenders off and foot pads off. Sanded and painted. Looks great. Thanks again.

Nice fix... if you did that for a customer whats the total cost? Buying the replacement seat, glue, enough clamps labor cost. Nice to have a good looking seat. Make the mower stand out.

This is more of a repair for an owner that has the time to put into it. The total cost of materials for this job was around $30 including the clamps. It took me about an hour and a half total labor time over two days by the time the adhesive cured. For someone to do this in a shop would not be cost effective and a new seat would be the better way to go. Thanks for watch and taking the time to comment. 😁👍

Great fix using contact cement. The seat was originally glued with hot glue but most people don't have a big enough glue gun to do this job. The problem with most adhesives is that they have to have air to cure. Construction adhesive needs air to cure and because you are clamping plastic against plastic it can't dry or cure. You have solved the problem.

@@josephwagner2729 You don’t need much on the foam itself. My concern was that the adhesive would be too aggressive and may cause the foam to deteriorate. If I remember correctly there was also a notice on the adhesive not to use it on foam. I recommend reading the label before trying it. If you go forward with it let us know how it works out.

I don’t see many Gators here. I’m not sure how the seats mount onto them. I’d go to eBay or Amazon and see if you can find a listing that shows the mounting holes and location. I’m sure it can be “made to work” but I’m not sure if it will bolt right on or not.

Emery cloth? Isn’t that a Scotch Brite pad or equivalent?

@baldeagle242

Жыл бұрын

Emery cloth, often referred to as "sandpaper on a cloth," is a versatile abrasive material that is commonly available in the form of a roll. It consists of a durable fabric backing embedded with abrasive particles. The abrasive coating on emery cloth is typically made of aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, which provides the necessary grit for sanding and smoothing surfaces. On the other hand, Scotch Brite pads offer a different approach to abrasive materials. These pads are composed of a porous fiber matrix infused with abrasive particles. The fibers create a three-dimensional structure that helps in distributing the abrasives evenly across the surface being worked on. Scotch Brite pads are designed to be more flexible and conform to various shapes and contours, making them suitable for intricate tasks. Either emery cloth or Scotch Brite pads would be suitable for the job at hand. Both options can effectively accomplish tasks that involve surface preparation, cleaning, or light sanding. Emery cloth, with its sandpaper-like texture, provides a more aggressive cutting action and is ideal for tasks that require heavier material removal or rougher surfaces. It is commonly used in metalworking and woodworking applications, where it can smooth rough edges, remove rust or paint, and prepare surfaces for painting or finishing. On the other hand, Scotch Brite pads are known for their versatility and gentle yet effective abrasion. The porous fiber structure allows for better control and finesse, making them suitable for tasks such as cleaning delicate surfaces, removing light blemishes or stains, and achieving a smooth finish on various materials. Scotch Brite pads are commonly used in automotive detailing, household cleaning, and even in food preparation areas where non-scratch materials are required. Ultimately, whether you choose emery cloth or Scotch Brite pads will depend on the specific requirements of your project, the type of surface you are working on, and the level of abrasion needed. Both materials have their unique characteristics and can be effective in their respective applications.
