Things You Will Need
-
Remove the vinyl-covered sections if possible. For booths that have the cushions built in, remove any obstacles in the area to give you plenty of working space.
-
Remove the old vinyl and the staples that held it in place from both the back and the seat. If the foam padding is in working condition, leave it intact. However, if the padding is damaged, remove it and replace it with new padding of the same size.
-
Cut out new pieces of vinyl for the seat and back, using the old booth coverings you removed as a template.
-
Wrap the seat vinyl material tightly around the seat cushion foam so that the edges of the material go around the frame. Staple one side of the material to the seat frame to secure it in place while you fit the covering.
-
Apply heat to sections of the vinyl to wrap it around curved areas without creasing. Set your blow dryer on low heat and aim it at the section that will wrap around a curve, holding it about a foot away. Slowly move the dryer closer to the vinyl until the material is pliable enough to conform to the curve without creasing. Staple the remaining sides of the covering to the bottom of the frame as you fit the curved areas.
-
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the back cushion. Place both cushions back in the booth, if applicable.
