Seat tear fix
Well I had a small tear in my seat about 1/2 of an inch long. I don't know how it happened.
I pinched the seat to open the rip up and put some super glue gel on the padding for backing and then closed the rip.
I then took a flat tooth pick broke it near the wide end into a 90 degree angle (Just a very small peice). I put a small drop of super glue gel on the bent piece of tooth pick. Using the tooth pick as sort of a small trowel, I filled in any noticeable void in the tear. Once the glue was semi-dry I kinda patted it with my finger and lightly rubbed it to smooth it out (but didn't really have to). Once the glue was dry I took a black sharpie permanent marker and colored over the glue, before the marker could dry I wiped it with my finger. It seems to blend in perfectly and if I didn't know wherethe ripwas I wouldn't notice it.
