Guys,
I am pulling all of the vinyl seats out of my boat and using Mr Clean Magic Eraser on them to try and clean up the vinyl. So far, the cleaning is working TERRIFIC, shocked how much better these clean pads work compared to using bleach or comet...
Anyways, I noticed that on the seams of my seats where the plane changes 90 degrees, there is a lot of cracking going on. They are all very small cracks / rips, majority are less than 1/4" but couple are less than 1/2".
My boat is a 1976, so I realize that a 34 year old boat with the original seats should have some issues... But, do you guys have any tips? I was thinking about getting some sort of a clear glue, like a super glue or cement, that I could paint on to each individual crack/rip to bond them together?
Any ideas? I'm not looking for perfection, my goal is simply to ensure that they don't get worse or at least slow down their growth, but ideally halt them from getting bigger. Perhaps there is something i can apply to the seams to strengthen them some, that way I woudln't have to apply it to every individual crack?
Here is a picture to help show what I mean
