    Thanks for the tour for a day in the life of Old School Upholstery in East Texas. Having the work area right there, well, to me, that is old school for sure. Was that a B-25 plane in the shop ? When I went sky diving, about 30 years ago, there was a much older guy at the airport, who had a B-25 belt buckle on, so I had time and asked him, what is the story ? He told me, he was in WW2 toward the end and his missions were flown in a B-25. - Maybe we get to Oshkosh one year ??

      @oldschoolautoupholstery 5 часов назад

      Hello Xx, I cut 1" foam, low medium and high density all the time with no problem. Sometimes with memory foam as an example, it can be cut in combination of hack saw blade and scissors. Like I always say, it's not rocket science. Hehe Please keep liking and watching!

      Hello Eugene, You could if you want to, but I have need doing this 44 years and I would say that I never would. The wire wheel will load up in seconds, and the fiberglass type headliner base like this one would be destroyed. If I had an easier way of scraping the foam, I would do it that way. Just sayin'.

    I just bought the HF Spray gun. the instructions say not to run it over 45 PSI. I notice a valve on yours but no gage? can you tell me how you regulate it? I have been doing leather for years by painting on the glue ( Very Messy) I hope this works for me.

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery 11 часов назад

      Hello Dag, I use an air regulator. My guess is 20-65 psi is usable, depending on if a project is large or small. I just get a feel of what air pressure is right for what I am doing. You will know too. Or get a regulator with a gauge. Please keep liking and watching! Please keep liking and watching!

    i did that on my old xj, but added extra padding to the bolsters for a sporting look when I deleted the sliders & lowered the suspension ~4". The seats lowered ~3" with the sliders gone. They did not move, so I put the seats where I wanted. I also put on shorter tires, which made it quicker, and lowered it more. I made my 2 door/2wd XJ SUV into a fast(er) 3 door hatchback car.

    Great result!! 👏👏👏 As I have read in another comment, there are other types of caulking guns which are more robust, meant for thicker adhesives or silicones, with a different design, that allows to use them easier, with less force. Here in Spain, a normal gun costs between 2 and 5 dollars and the stronger one about 15 - 20 dollars, and they make life easier, so I strongly recommend you to get one, for next similar job 😉😉

      Hello Delta, It is not very often I have to use Urethane. I guess that is why I never sought out a better caulk gun. I like your recommendation though! Please keep liking and watching!

      ​@@oldschoolautoupholstery 👍👍👍 Good to know about the available options, just in case, as the stronger gun comes handy also for household repairs with regular silicone cartridges, as they can be applied using less force, which makes the operation more accurate 😉

    Had this issue when I was young and unfamiliar with glass and convertible tops or soft tops. Person used airplane glue and while it worked it wasn’t pretty.

    John here I worked for a glass company for 32 years . They make a caulking gun with more mechanical advantage much easier to squeeze relatively inexpensive. Thanks for the videos

    I wonder if there aren't air or battery operated caulk guns. Sometimes you need super human strength to get any meaningful amount out.

    Hey Richard would it help to warm up the tube to make the urethane flow a little better or would that make things more difficult? looks like you were struggling a little.
