    Slowly trying to get into custom seats in my shop and I want to practice when i have time. here's a seat foam i want to make. I noticed a lot of people would glue sections of foam together to create the width. Should i do something similar? Or i should layer it top to bottom not side to side?tmmkubexr6ti5dcn.jpg

    I like the “stacked” idea. Probably stronger too.

    Which way ya do it depends on the contours of the bun. This one doesn't have alot of contour to the top except the bump in the back so this could easily be accomplished by layering thinner pieces on top of a slab unless there's alot if contour on the bottom to fit in the pan. And even then it may be best to just layer pieces. It really depends on the situation. Now if you're giving it a big roll in the front for lat support and beefy side bolsters then yes 4" profile cuts are good

    Do yourself a favor and buy all of Sid Chavers DVD's. Everything you need to know to get started in the custom world is there. He walks you through how to build seats from scratch.
