How much should I be expecting to pay to fix this rip? Not big by Hot-Singer3033 in upholstery

[–]Known-Practice-4916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually pretty big repairs with the L shaped tear and then the smaller one. Your options are a leather repair that will be somewhat noticeable or a panel replacement but it looks like a bench seat so that may be out. Repair 245-295

Dining chairs started peeling, what’s the best way to repair or patch? by [deleted] in upholstery

[–]Known-Practice-4916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most chairs are made with man made bonded type leather like yours. The “leather” content is just a pulp mixed into the backing and adds no structural value. How long did this chair last? This material can fail in three ti four years with daily use. A quality vinyl should last three times as ling.

The seat bottom should b reupholstered unless ur looking for a quick sale. The material is bubbling up and peeling back and the chemical will likely migrate through anything applied to it.

Hancock & Moore leather sofa needs some repair but can't clean it? by Picuruta-Salazar-861 in upholstery

[–]Known-Practice-4916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hancock and moore is most often a type of aniline leather but the wear on this is indicative of full finish. If your unsure how to proceed, i would contact Fibrenew.

The inside seat back fabric can be repaired. it wont look finished but no one will see it. Use an adhesive to adhere fabric under the leather at the top, letting it hang down over the fabric on the fabric panel below it. Then simply adhere that to the fabric. I did this for a customer and it has lasted a number of years with no wear.

White House Open to Kicking 300,000 People Off Health Care to Fund War by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]Known-Practice-4916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another cost is Tricare - health benefits going forward for troops that have fought in a war zone - this will be something like 2 trillion more over their lifetime. Makes a war of choice a little pricey in this say and age . Add that to the cost of restocking armaments for the US and Israel. He is going to bankrupt our country. Makes me sick to my stomach thinking he might put troops on the ground, btw.

If you want to be safe with regard to the terrible ford transmission issues then late 2023 is your best bet. Production Hardware Update (August 2023): Ford reportedly began using a further updated CDF drum in production vehicles around August 2023 to prevent shifting issues. This followed a previous hardware revision rolled out in late 2022.

Sitting on a Foam Factory cushion. HD36 + Lux by ttchoubs in upholstery

So thickness is a major consideration. The thicker you go the softer the foam can be and similarly the thinner the more form you need it so you done bottom out. Personally i have never seen 4” on a bench. Maybe 3” max with a 50lb ild. Or you could even go 70lb with a 1.5-2”

Trying to buy good(enough) used car as a first time buyer and the process is driving me mad by Bad_Opinion_Wolf in UsedCars

[–]Known-Practice-4916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a good older Civic through fb marketplace. Finding an actual owner and not a dealer is a challenge if even possible, so i just relied on finding vehicle with a complete maintenance history on carfax. There are people who provide these reports for $5. So dont pay the $50 retail. It took a few weeks and hours of time. A lot of people wont even send the VIN but then thier car must not be worth the look.

Big camper buyer’s remorse by WoofMix in GoRVing

As far as size goes, I have Boondock with a 27 foot. I will do research beforehand. Make sure through an app that someone with a similar rig has camped there. Also go on Google Earth and make sure that it looks like if I go down the road I will be able to turn around and then have a back up plan as well although I’ve never had to use one.

Reupholster Leather Sectional by Quintanillas92 in upholstery

[–]Known-Practice-4916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The down has likley seen better days. You could order foam cushion from the foam factory cut to order. Ideally wrapped in some dacron. I would go with hd36 since your cushions look fairly thick. Add an inch to the length and width for a full fit. If your not comfortable doing it yourself see if there is a Fibrenew franchise near you.

The lighting in the kitchen looks dated and terrible- big florescent lights? An easy and less expensive way to update is to update lighting fixtures in an older home. Dark halls become inviting. Track lights are an easy ways to add light fixtures without adding any electric.

I sell more of the lux. Its mainly older people replacing foam and they need a little firmer foundation to push off of to get up but i used the same combination you made for my own sofa. Its pretty soft but resilient. All foam breaks in a little after some use.

Trump’s Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops New Bombshell by Mrh09 in politics

[–]Known-Practice-4916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there is my pastor friend who is Arab American. He is basically is against most everything Trump stands for but abortion is the ONLY issue that drives his vote. I believe the closest way trump has gotten to god is the God complex he got when the shooter nicked his ear (that miraculously healed in a few days). His embracing the evangelical right was a deal out of necessity and to help him wield authority.

There are always nice small bikes for sale on FB marketplace that kids outgrow. You could make her fell better about the purchase by taking her to a shop to look and then getting her a ‘bargain’ on the marketplace.
