[QUOTE="painman, post: 178719, member: 1114"] Scab, you da man! My wife and I are taking our second semester upholstery class and am in the process of finishing my recliner for the house. Kings throne and all. But during this time I have been testing different foams on the FJR and when the recliner is finished I am going to finish the FJR seat.
