Hello all, another big project: upholstery of the round sofa in the salon.
1 thing when you buy a used boat from 1994 is that you have to put a lot of work in it. The risk that al cushions are worn out is big. But with a little effort (read a lot) you can make everything new. This is the first time we do all the upholstery our self. We learned a lot and made some mistakes. When we do it ever again It would be a better job. But overall we are very happy with the result.
First job is to dismount the complete sofa. That was a real pain in the arse job because we didn’t install it and didn’t knew where all the screws were. Caution is a must.
First you have to remove the small cover at the bottom to access the wing nuts.
At some places there are screws between the upper and lower cushions.
At this point I thought to myself: What have I started....
now it’s time for removing thousands of staples.
