What is the best way to join 2 peices of 1 inch cushion foam - I need a
peice 48x72 and the best I can do 1s 2 24x72s due to time and $$ - It will
be wrapped in fibre fill and double covered, once by a close fitting poly
fabric and then a stiffer plastic backed canvas - the seam line will have
to have some -give- as it is a flat cushion going into a bowl shaped chair
which also means that the seam will most likely NOT be sat onbut at a
lower back level - would fabric -No Sew- liquid work - any help would be
useful

NOt sure what brand of adhesive was used, but when I took apart the
original cushions for a local restaurant, they had cut and pieced the
foam together. I would think that a mid-range (as in price) crafter's
glue would work. What was on the old cushions I worked with had
yellowed with age, but I was told that at one point it had been
clear.....not sure how they knew that since they had never taken them
apart. IMHO, look for something that says flexible bond and lists
foam as one of the items that it works well with.
Yes, I know, probably know help....really just pointing out that it
*can* be done

My husband was an upholsterer and he used a special spray glue for
foam. He got it from an upholsterer supply place. Look t up Google. Aud

It's not a terribly good idea. But if you can't find foam that is the right
size, you can use spray glue. If you want it to hold up for as long as
possible, go to a car upholstery place and ask them if you can buy a can of
headliner glue. Don't use a spreadable glue. Use a spray on. You can
maybe get by with regular spray on craft glue.

Not sure where you are but we have a local place that will cut any size foam
to order. I do believe they will ship also. You might check the yellow pages
or Google for a local place to you.
Here is a link to the place in Albany NY
