plasticbuddha | 13-Aug-07 16:05 | I got the edge to look reasonable (hard to tell from this photo) with sanding and scratch filler/primer. My references also show seat cushions. I tried several things before using some bathroom tissue wrapped in aluminum foil. What makes it work is that after I wrapped the tissue with foil, I burnished the aluminum foil from the center outwards. This causes the foil to expand to creat slack. With real cushions, the padding gets compressed over time so the covering gets loose and creats ripples. This technique might also work to replicate leather (tiny creases in the foil). |
