The laytex foam on both of my trailers was discolored, and the '73's foam reeked of bug spray, air freshener and porta-potty blue water plus only God knows what. I cringed when I cut one in half to discard in household trash since I found it was perfectly new material just 1/4-inch beneath the surface but out went two sets of AS cushions anyway, I remembered seeing a sign in a foam shop saying they would not work with used foam.
When tracking down foam for another project I visited a small one-man foam & cushion shop and when I asked about it he said he would have 'shaved' the surface down on his $30,000 cutting machine w/o any problem.
$1000 mistake. I'd certainly salvage the foam and re-fit or replace covers if I were to see another 35-year old cushion set...
