Reviving Foam

Recommended Posts

Checked the Manuals, talked to the manufacturer, and it seems there isn't a lot of ready knowlege about reviving foam. To get an idea about working with foam I've looked into upholstery and auto upholstery restoration.

The gear in question is a PEP that has been in storage for more than 10 years and most of the comfort foam strips (back, lower container and chair) have become mis-shapen and taken a set in this condition.

Because of the condition, for example, the bottom of the back pad is pulled up almost to the middle pin.

The back pad has responded to compression but I expect it will return to its mis-shapen state ere long.

Anyone have any practical experience using steam and/or heat to restore foam? I'd like to know if the foam resumed the wrong shape or if it retained the restored shape.

Cheers.
