ive been instructed by the local upholstry guys to use 3M 75 or 78 spray, whatever it is, apparently its what they all use for headliners, resists up to 70 something degrees before softening

The Selleys Kwik Grip GEL is heat resistant to 130c (according to the tin) and found I had time to 'work it' before it went off. I don't know about the 3M 75 or the spray how fast it dries, but, you really do need time to get the fabric in place before it bonds. My jobs were only small areas so, I glued both the door and the fabric at once and still had time to lift a little if it was off alignment. I matched the outside bottom first but then worked the glue from the inside out, getting rid of any bubbles. The selleys also gives you 20-40 mins before it bonds completly. 24hrs for 100% dry but, you can't move it really after 20 mins or you break the skin. A roof lining, I would imagine you would glue down, little by little, bit by bit??? to avoid creases. Once it's on, it's ON to stay! It would have to take more than one person to do? Good luck and am following your progress. Sounds awesome!

Just had to find the RIGHT glue that wouldn't go off too quicky and of course, no bleed. The Selleys did a good job and, you don't have to be afraid of it, meaning, I just lathered it on both the door and the fabric and, if I made a bit of a mess on the plastc, it wiped off straight away but, you gotta get it, straight away.

well, to update, i didnt get the kwikgrip gel, i just got the blue tin of kwik grip. will be using that for all my upholstery, maybe the roof liner, unsure if i want to go with 3M spray or selleys gel for the roofliner.
BTW your job looks sweet, good job. now all you have to do is the carpet, roofliner and seats :P Last edited by chrisw; 05-07-2009 at 02:37 PM. |

The gel is like butter. It speads easily and you have plenty of time to work it before it bonds. Trust me Chris.....take the blue tin back!
