	my seat is just starting to come apart at the back seam, the threads are still in it but its starting to seperate. I looked at some different glues and a lot claim to be the strongest and most durable. anyone know the best and most durable to use that will hold up the longest in the cold and the fact that it will have pressure on it whatnot?

	I just sewed it with fishing line, held up for two months.

	I use a hot glue gun, works great, make sure to work it into the foam a bit to get it to really hold. 1972 Kitty Cat 1979 John Deere Trailfire 440 1989 Polaris Indy 650 aka FRANKENPOO 1993 Yamaha Exciter II 570 1997 Arctic Cat ZRT 600 Full Throttle Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Definitely sew it with some very strong thread that you can get from a cobbler or an upholstery shop. Then seal it with Shoe Goo to keep moisture out. 1990 Indy 400 (Slightly modded with welded tunnel cracks and various used Indy parts from models throughout the 90's) 2006 Stihl Chainsaw 1980's Vintage Lawnboy Lawnmower 2005 Husqvarna Weed Whacker (It sucks to rewind the string, but that 31cc motor sure is torquey!) 2000 Polaris XCSP Edge 600 (1.5" Track, 22x40 gearing, Aaen exhaust, Student Driver pivot riser package) 2008 RMK 600 144" Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
