Prep area with S100 Silicone Wash. This assures
a clean surface free of protectants.
If damage is completely through the fabric, insert
a piece of VM6 Sub Patch Material between the fabric
and foam cushion using tweezers or palette knife.
If the foam is gone you can put a piece of DACRON
in the hole. Fix backing in place with FBA (Fitzgerald's
Base Velour Adhesive), adding enough adhesive to fill
the hole. If the damage is only superficial, simply
add FBA directly to the repair area.
Using the VCC Velour Color Chart, select the velour
color which best matches the fabric. If need be, intermix
other colors to make an exact match. Try to use fibers
within the basic color family. Embed fibers into the
adhesive using a detail brush or toothbrush. Accent
patterned velour using a single-edged razor blade
to define lines or squares. Place remaining fibers
into an EVA-2000 electrostatic velour applicator or
a velour atomizer.
Fitzgerald's Water Base Velour Spray Adhesive
WBVA spray adhesive may be applied with a mouth atomizer,
Preval sprayer, or Wagner Power Sprayer. If the adhesive
is too thick for your method of application, reduce
with water only as much as needed to attain atomization.
Spray adhesive over repaired area, blending into adjacent
fabric. For large or multiple repairs an entire panel
may be sprayed.
Shake velour fibers with a VS (velour shaker), an
EVA electrostatics velour applicator, or apply the
fiber with a A11 (velour atomizer) onto the adhesive.
If you use an EVA the fibers will be drawn into the
adhesive, standing on end, leaving a soft velvety
feel to the repair. Apply a light coat of velour adhesive
over the fibers and heat "set" the adhesive
using a hair dryer or heat gun on low. Top coat with
S-704 Durashield to add a soft finish.
