Nothing big, i just introduced the door panel vinyl to the washer, a cup of bleach and some laundry detergent. DEATH TO MOLD!!!
Silly, mom wouldn't want her sweaters bleached....Did you wash it with your mom's sweaters?
The finished passenger seat, before and after:
Daaavvvveee!!!Uhmmmm......I think this is going in the trash
There's also an unlike Button....You know Mike.....you've "liked" me four times now.
You will never unlike me Mike. You're too nice and you know it.There's also an unlike Button....
How much "shrinkage" from the wet/dry process? Will it throw off the pattern or am I worried about nothing?I can afford ten bucks for some new board from lowes, not another fifty from LMR.
I know fifty isn't much money for them, but I have lots and lots of fifty dollar items still to get.
Anywho, this is what I'm doing to flatten out the original boards. I had to soak them in water really good, let that sit for about an hour so it was pretty dang soft. Wet them one more time, then SLOWLY shape them flat again. Then into the booth and put this board and two full five gallon cans put on top. Now it'll sit in the booth for the rest of the day through all the bake cycles. Tomorrow morning the board comes off and I'll have a really good pattern board for making my new ones.
I don't know really Todd. Good question though. Of course all those years sitting in the salvage kind of did that too.How much "shrinkage" from the wet/dry process? Will it throw off the pattern or am I worried about nothing?

I've used luan board to make the backing for our door panels. It works great. Turned out well and lasted longer than the car.
