Yeah, you can get the stuff I used from Michaels, honestly it looks and smells like Elmers, but a bit thicker.

The stuff I used is called "Hold the foam glue for Styrofoam", comes in a blue metal tube.

Thanks man, I owe you one. Off to Michaels after the Easter weekend. Did you cover the entire underside of the seat?

Actually, no, just the inner part on each side, really, but you'll be able to see what I mean once you do it.

Use black felt of course. At first I tried to cover the whole thing, but you can actually see it from the side, then while the glue was still wet, I just pulled part of it up a bit and trimmed it, taking an inch or two from each outer side.

I've got some foam insulation tape that would be used in a plumbing application.


One side has a glue on it, the other side is foam. Nice thing about it is if it gets worn out, just peel it off and replace a section.

I used it when I put a toolbox on my truck....worked great. Easy to use, easy to get rid of, easy to replace.
