Creafoam bead seat help and advice

[Crossle Sportsracer]

Hi everyone, I have a creafoam seat which needs some simple repair and modifications. I have taken off all the tape and plastic material from the seat- it’s down to the plane beads. I think and should be able to buy a small seat kit and mix it then add bids to the existing area needed.

Will this work? Anyone have a small bead seat for sale? Or perhaps a better idea?

Possibly buy some EPS board insulation at the local home improvement store and cut to fit areas to be repaired and then reapply the covering.

Richard and Steve have made entire seats out of this stuff and can answer better than I can.

I had a bead seat (old style) that was damaged by a fuel cell leak. Lost major sections of the bottom half of the seat. I made some light gauge aluminum panels that spanned the area to be replaced, covered them with clear packing tape and drilled a 1/4" hole in the top panel. Taped them firmly in place and shot some hardware store spray foam thru the hole, not too much. It expanded and filled the void nicely, after I removed the aluminum panels I did a bit of sanding to fair in the repair. It's slightly firmer than the original but once it's all taped over with gaffers tape it's not noticeable.
