/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>Has to be comfortable to the touch, looks do not matter so much
You're not looking for the proper way to fix this, you're looking for the easiest and cheapest way to fix it while being just barely good enough.

Depends on your skill set, the types of tools you have available and the types of material you have available.
We need more information.

In general, if it's causing rashes on your skin, the obvious solution would be to make it smoother. Maybe some well placed duct tape would be sufficient.

Or to just sit differently (and lose some weight).

Fair enough, the chair was cheap as shit, I got it for 40 bucks brand new so I guess I got what I paid for. Still the structure of it is surprisingly good for my posture.

For tools I have a heatgun, hot glue gun, epoxies, and plenty of electrical tools that are most likely useless for this. I don't have any new fabrics that can be attached onto it except for old cloths, and possibly a felt cloth I'm considering hot gluing to the leather above it just as a temporary cover.

I've found some ebay "leather liquid DIY repair kits" and other Vinyl adhesive type kits that seem like they might not make do the job, but what the hell maybe they're worth a shot.

The whole point of posting was to see if anyone knows a decent permanent or semi-permanent fix for this kind of material.

Losing weight won't help at all, I'm 65kg.

Just a layer of epoxy or hotglue might help, but I assume it'd need to be smooth. Hotgluing a piece of fabric onto it might create new scratchy surfaces at the point where the fabric ends. Though that depends on the fabric and how well you choose the position where it ends.

I'd say it's worth a shot.

I think this is due to repeated flexing of that part and fake leather getting dry in time
If you were heavier the sponge inside it will deform and flexing would stop thus no damage would occur
so gain some weight

Cheapest is throw a blanker or cover over the thing.

3Ms vinyl repair kit works well enough to use on motorcycle seats. The repair will be visible if you look closely but it's sound.

Ignore the rating because stupid people don't follow instructions. I've done three motorcycle seat repairs with no problem but I'm a mechanic and not the average dumbass. I recommend taping the texture material to the seat to keep it in position. I heat the supplied tool with a heat gun.

USE THE PRACTICE PIECE. Follow the instructions. Good shit.

Good point, I'll have to test it on an inconspicious part. I think I'll try hotglue first since it's easily removed with alcohol

>>1185252
Shit I'm already overeating everyday but I can't seem to gain any weight, but yeah the damage is definitely caused by repeated flexing

>>1185254
Awesome, 3M and it's pretty cheap as well. It might be a challenge to find in Australia but I'm sure someone on ebay will have it. Thanks for the recommendation

Holy shit you're an asshole. This is /diy/ not /yeastycunt/. Why don't you fuck off back to one of the troll boards.

I hope you're only pretending to 've retarded.

The only person in this thread that's butthurt is you.
Consider taking a chill pill.

The only person in this thread that was a complete and utter cunt was you. Consider having a douche.

I'd just hotglue a comfy yet durable fabric over the area, possibly to entire width of the seat. You can get scraps from fabric stores or Walmart since they usually discount scrap pieces.

If you want to spend more, you could try some sort of sear cover.

Have you never tried hotglue with isopropyl alcochol? Pretty much every hobbyist knows this trick

>>1185463
Thought I'd indulge you while I wait for the vinyl kit to arrive
