Several years ago, I used the installation kits from Jim Carter, and the burlap and cotton was not enough to keep the springs from being felt. Maybe JC has changed the contents of their installation kit, or maybe I did not use the material correctly?
AD_Pickup: would you please post additional information about the rigid foam that you used? If available:Name brand and a source (on-line source, maybe)? Thanks.
It is hard to say how hard the reproduction upholstery sets are to install (individual background and experience varies) but we were able to obtain a good appearance on all eight cushions we reupholstered (first-time experience). We did not use hog-rings; we used the original style
"C-Clips" to hold the material to the bottom of the cushion-frames.
