tweeding my dash

any tips or tricks i should know before i start?? any help would be great

in the hard curved spots.. spray a section at a time let it dry then pull the tweed around the curves and keep it in sections letting it dry in between... also.. clean the dash real well before

thanks man. your s**t looks good

Yea that looks really good

take your time and go slow. make sure to spray both the dash and the back of the tweed and then let it tack up before you lay it down

Main thing I learned is make sure the dash is completely cleaned of any Armor All or similar products. The last truck that I used tweed on I did not do the entire dash but parts here and there and actually I had very good luck just using rubbing alcohol to clean the parts. I soaked a rag with the alcohol and just wiped and wiped on the parts until I felt it was good and clean. There are probably other products out there that will accomplish this but just from my experience, rubbing alcohol worked fine.

If you are wrapping hard plastic parts lacquer thinner will work well for cleaning the parts also, however the soft parts use rubbing alcohol like Justin said because I the thinner can melt it. I just pulled the tweed off the trim panels of my Fullsize chevy and I used Lacquer thinner to get all the old glue off. Suprisingly it didn't even discolor my trim panels and they look like brand new now.

thanks for all the help. i will be starting next weekend. any other tips or tricks? like the compound curves. somebody told me to work from the center and work my way out( do one half then the other)is that a good idea?
