Seat Installation Test Run

So, I wanted to do a test run with the seat before going ahead and moulding it. The last thing I want to do is rush it all and end up doing it wrong, or just doing a bad job.

I did a couple of tests with it, putting it in different positions and messing about with the vacuum amount. For the final run, which seemed to work best, I pushed most of the beads into the middle of the cockpit and then put my weight on it, spreading it out. This provided far more support than just laying the bag in and all the areas of the seat were thick enough to mould there and then. To Vacuum the air out, I used a normal hoover, but Duck taped some plastic tubing to it, so it fitted the valve. Bodge job, but it worked perfectly.

I took a couple of pictures, and will hopefully doing the actual mould on Saturday.

P.S. I just realised I’d blurred the picture of the hoover, will get another pic on Saturday – in focus!
