- Mixing Cups

Step 1: Identify Areas to Repair
The foam seat of this tractor has extensive damage at the seam and inner filling. Injecting foam into the damaged area will increase comfort and close the gap at the seam.
Step 2: Measure and Mix FlexFoam-iT! 15 Tuff Stuff
FlexFoam-iT! 15 is mixed 1A:2B by volume or 100A:185B by weight using an accurate gram scale. A small amount of material is dispensed by weight then stirred quickly and deliberately for 15 seconds, making sure to aggressively scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container several times.
Step 3: Apply Foam to Repair
The two minute pot life allows for the liquid foam to be drawn into a plastic syringe for dispensing into the damaged area of the foam. Foam is injected at multple spot along the seam then painters' tape is used to hold the cushion together.
