Just a simple question, what does everyone use to repair small cuts and rips on bus seats? I am replacing all of the ones that are too far gone but still have several more that just have minor cuts.

I use the liquid vinyl that you heat with a heat gun. I get it from our Blue Bird dealer. I also have a rubbery piece that has the same texture as the seats do that helps to blend the patch and to put texture in the patch/repair. I think it makes it a little harder to peel off. Then I just use vinyl seat paint to match the color.
