PUI Seat Foam

Dang I hope you kept the old foam ... new foam isn't latex foam and not as "good a feel" as the old style. heck, I'd pay a bit for that foam and shipping if your going to throw it away.(got a set of 66's that don't have any bun foam at all) I'd repair that in a heartbeat. Using landau contact cement and 20lb density latex 1/2" foam on the seat bun area and I'd be in heaven. 1/4" pink foam(latex not needed and pink or blue 20lb foam is more durable but not a better feel) for the bolsters and canvas to cover the springs. Then grind (no knives used here at the 60's lincoln leather shop) just a new 4" 80grit disk on an angle grinder to shape the new layers of foam. 1/3rd the money and pretty much a guaranteed fit too with the original "new seat " feel.

That original foam was sooooo much better! But the seat buns were flaking dust on my floor. I really wanted to seal them and keep my seat covers which were in near perfect condition. I posted a thread and asked for suggestions to seal and repair the seat buns but everyone said they had to be replaced. Unfortunately, they went out in the trash today.
You are correct. The new foam is polyurethane, which forms a skin on the surface when molded. The latex foam is much more uniform and has a softer feel. The original buns also had open cups recessed into the seat bottoms which also improved the comfort.
