I am working on restoring a free cheapo kit, finally picked the wrap material and such, but I have one question I need answered before I wrap.
I want to butt joint the seams.
I am going to be using some sparkle vinyl upholstery for the wrap, and I am not sure of the durability of that kind of seam. I know regular wraps can shrink away creating a gap, while vinyl is less prone to shrinkage.
I have only found 2 people on 2 forums that have butt jointed this material, but both have been inactive for a couple years so I cannot ask them.
I have gone through Google so thoroughly that they asked me if I was a robot and had to go through a re-captcha just to continue searching!
I will be fully glueing, but just need to ask if anyone has experience with this?
If you've done it, did it ever pull apart?
Thanks for any help and pointers.
