whats the best adshesive?

Alright i just got my tweed in today and i plan on doing my dash and door panels so whars the best kind to use i know everone says not to use spray can stuff. Oh yea its by frist time so if any body got any tips sure please thanks alot

Where can I purchase the buy DAP

i use a cheap canister gun and contact cement u can get a gallon at lowes for 12 bucks and the guns 20. ive done alot of interior stuff and ive used the spray glue and it works ok but the contact cement is the best thing ive ever used. also if u never done interior be4 make sure u clean the parts with a oil grease remover stuff. if u dont things like armorall wont let the glue stick. also spray the tweed and spray the piece u are covering give it about 3 min 2 tack up then lay it down. if u dont give the glue enough time 2 tack up or u us 2 much glue it will bleed through the material and u will have glue spots which look like shit. just take ur time and it will turn out fine. hope this helps

get the DAP - I never mess with ANY rattle can glue. Most glues will work with tweed but try some rattle can glue on a stretched peice of vinyl and you will see the realr glue real quick. Get a harbor frieght $14 gun, use it only for glue and go to town. Here is alink to a plaxce you can get it by the gallon.

I agree 3M super77 works good on tweed but I didn't like it when I used it on vinel.

Yeah I will agree that the 3M is ok but the headliners that I have done with the 3M seem to fall after a while especially when it gets hott inside the truck.

I do kustom interior work. The best glue to use on tweed is contact cement as stated. I use weldwood in my shop. If you don't want to go to the trouble of buying a spray gun, etc, you can go to your local parts store and purchase a spray can or 3M Super Trim Adhesive. It will be a can larger than a normal spray paint can. Along with cleaning the vinyl (plastic) parts really well, I sand the parts with 80 grit sand paper to give the glue more area to really bite into. Spray both the panel and the tweed, allow them to tack, align and start stretching. I start in the middle of a panel and work out from there. Just remember, if the glue side of the material touches the glue on the panel youre gonna be stuck. If you peel any glue off the plastic, just respray that area then continue. Also give the material a slight pull as you work it down to help deter wrinkles. Good luck.

i use 3m super 74 the orange foaming type, 77 is good but when it gets hot it dosent stick to good, it always came back apart on me, no problem with the 74 at all
