  • Burlap with wires.
    I checked a few of my catalogs from different suppliers and did not find it. I suppose maybe I could call Legendary, because I did not see it in theirs.
    Yes I am looking for the burlap with the wires in it. Customer wants original but not the old wires as he had mice and was worried they might smell urine on the old wires if I wove them into new burlap.
  • Almost hate to ask
    I can't tell from the picture. But could you sew a piece on that covers the whole area and then mark and trim off the rest?
  • "contract" work always pays late
    I had a designer who was always late. They got upset when I said I would not do the next job until they settled the bill. They then hired someone who they said was cheaper. Well 6 months later they were bringing in his work because their customers were not happy with his cheaper (Quality). Now they are one of my best customers. Sometimes you just need to be firm. My bills come due every month and if I am late it affects both my profit(interest charges) and credit.

  • Plastic seat retainer strips / hold downs

  • Soft Top Windows
    I have been using 3M window weld after of applying a coat of 3M glass primer. Then I release the top at the header and prop it up. I hold the repaired area together with strong magnets and steel walk away and let it dry a day.
    But if epoxy holds your way is quicker.

  • Bonding fabrics for canvas cover
    For indoor or outdoor use, and does the color matter?

  • SMS auto fabrics
    I now give the customer their name and number and tell them to order the yardage they need. I inform them what to expect when working with them. When they get their materials I will do the job.
