    Default What material to use to wrap headrest surround in FC

    Wondering what material to use to wrap a headrest surround. Can you use a vinyl wrap or is it a special material for fire safety, etc?

    Thanks!

    I would say a thin epoxy composite layup. You are not trying for a soft to the touch surface, but something that has give during an impact.

    use expanded polypropylene (EPP) if you can get some.
