What are the best methods to repair UV-degraded threads on canvas benches?
UV exposure can weaken and degrade the threads on canvas benches over time, leading to fraying and structural damage. To restore them, start by cleaning the affected area with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. For minor damage, apply a UV-resistant fabric glue or thread sealant to reinforce the weakened threads. For more severe cases, re-stitching with UV-resistant polyester or nylon thread is recommended. Regularly applying a fabric protectant spray with UV inhibitors can also prevent future degradation. These methods will help extend the life of your canvas benches and keep them looking their best.
