Where do you get foam from? Also could you use this technique on a larger scale to make a kayak seat pad?

@MyJashaun Lol. If only there was a website where you could get various size pieces of foam at reasonable prices shipped quickly :)

I'm demonstrating technique on some small scraps. The same principal apply regardless of how big a part you are gluing. Its easier on bigger parts like seats because you can make mistakes and there is still enough surface area that it will stay stuck. Smaller things like hip pads it gets more important to glue properly with the tips in this vid.

That's super helpful. Thank you. I hope you'll make some more videos of kayak outfitting techniques. Maybe foot block next?
