[Noisebridge-discuss] Suggestions on scooter seat cover?

[Tymm Twillman]

I very much appreciate the suggestions; I'll look into the E-6000 approach, as it seems like it'd be quite a bit of work & very messy with the smallish repair liquid tubes.   

(sigh, the original seat cover was in beautiful shape for just short of 30 years...)
