Stitching in Cockpit
 

New to the Fountain Family. I just moved up from a 212 Islander to a 27 Fever. I've got only few minor cosmetic issues, one of which is the stitching in the headrest of the two bolster seats has faded? Any success stories out there for re-coloring ? I called Fountain and they said to use a sharpie. My only hesitation would be when it gets wet again would it run?

Any help?

you can buy fabric markers @ wal-mart, won't bleed, take your time & it will look like new again, I have done this on my past 2 fountains & it works fantastic!

:drink:

Great idea thanks.

Great to know. Looks great !

I have seen boats do this over and over! This is a great idea

What department would I find fabric pins in at wal mart?

Fabric dedpartment?...just kidding. If its not auto or H/W I usually just wander around til I stumble over it. Welcome aboard and post some pics of your new ride...whats under the hood?:drink::drink::drink: Opps...I just saw your other post. Nice...real nice!

Thanks man.... Can't say I've ever been in the fabric section. And if they ask me what I'm using it for it might throw them for a loop.

Funny story, I was at a convention Monday - Wednesday and a vendor had some foam footballs. So I asked for two. He said you must either have two kids or two dogs. I said I have two dogs but they won't be touching these. These are to keep the birds from nesting in my boat. He looked at me perplexed. So I had to show him a picture of what I was talking about. I put them in the bilge blower exit vents when storing.....

there in the kraft section, kids use them to draw on t-shirts ect. they come in a package on five or so, assorted colors

congradulation to you also . alot of new fountain owners are turning up . Tim

Dude - I haven't found these "magic" markers that you're talking about anywhere. I even went to a fabric/sewing store (JoAnn) - they'd never heard of them. Do you have a product or manufacturer's name?

I appreciate it.
