be sure to have two people so one
: can managage the cloth and keep it from sticking to itself, while you
: stretch and apply the cloth working out any would-be wrinkles. I doubt I
: could have succeeded without my wife's pair of hands!

: Good Luck, Spidey

How about stap.. attaching the lycra to a frame, larger than the seat, spray
the foam, set the frame over the seat, and sit down with a cuppa coffee and
Nick's book. (thus encouraging the lycra to conform to the eventual resting
place) How many chapters, and how large a cuppa coffee (thermos?) would it
take in time to get proper adhesion to the seat? Maybe lay some saran wrap on
top of the lycra/frame so that you would be free to persue other activities
after the required time had passed? (release mechanism) TNX, Scotty
