combing pads

[Fightin Irish]

does anyone recommend a place to get there pads refinished..the tops are all dry rotted. or has anyone done the job them selves and knows where to buy the foam and vinyl from?

 You can get marine vinyl on ebay. Do you mean the combing pads? I did my own a few years back. Make sure you use stainless stables. Foam was good so I didn't replace it. Do a search on marine foam.

Same here. I cheaped out last year and found some nice heavy duty white duct tape! 1 run straight down the top, tuck it in a little and lasted all year. I got 3/4 of the roll left to redo as necessary. Don't even look half bad on an old boat...

I didn't even notice you had combing in the title!

I redid mine myself I got the Vinyl From this company they were very nice and no issues only problen there was a minimum for the order which was way more then what I needed. Mine was on Starboard and the foam was in good shape. http://veada.com/product/11-Marine-Vinyl-Boat-Upholstery/291--Marine-Vinyl-by-the-Running-Yard-54-Wide-Boat-Upholstery.html I believe Darren (Fishin Dude) used this other company for clear Vinyl http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|5948|296197|314199&id=107205 They also sell other fabrics

  We have all our vinyl work (which we just got all our bridge cushions remade) done by Rick Ries in Point Pleasant. He has been doing a great job for us, with all vinyl work, interior work ~ including modifying our couch, and our awesome enclosure. He is a great guy who does great work. If your not up to the task of doing it yourself. Give him a call for a quote. His number is 1-732-892-1842. Just let him know John on the Benchmark referred you..!
   Also check out http://gioiasails.com for a quote as a backup to Rick. But try him first!
   Let us know how it goes..

You guy's seem ho have this "Covered". As always, if there are sponsors here on the site that can do the work, or get quality supplies to do it yourself,if that is what you had planned, then by all means go with them.

My recommendations if you want to tackle the job yourself is "Go for it". Use quality materials, and STAINLESS staples. Good quality foam is also worth the effort to obtain.
