Hey guys im going to put suede on my front rear door panels and want to know what type of glue to use and where to purchase it?

 

3m spray adhesive from walmart. its made to put vynal tops on classic cars.! hot glue the edges on backside!

 

That's a really good idea!

 

Headliner Spray from Joanns, $18 a can, but it wont fade away like the 3m

 

y buy headliner spray when the 3m super 90 is rated for installed a canvas top on a roof of acar, by god if it dont hold ur headliner on somethings wrong

 

Well I have just heard from a bunch of people who have used 3m 90, and say that it starts to sag

 

after 18 months my suede sagged from 3m 90

 

yep my suede sagged too i didnt use the 90 tho
always happens during the winter..

 

So far my suede hasn't sagged, and im using the headliner spray

 

QFT, its the only spray I use. I used the 3M before, its weak.

 

Weird, I figured heat would be the cause of sagging.

 

ha that would suck to have it just sag out of no where

 

I heard of people use contact cement (sp) correct me if im wrong but ive heard of that....

 

Yeah, a few people have, such a neothin

 

Yes I used contact cement on my pillars and so forth but as far as your headliner goes get some really good high grade upholstery glue. The ____ you buy in stores will eventually give out. Gravity does not work in its favor.

 

yeah... the 3m stuff i have found kinda sucks... when we do headliners at my shop...we use a high temp upholstery glue... we have found when the temp in the summer gets in the upper 90's the headliner will tend to start to sag and then we have to do it all over again... with the high temp glue, myself and all the other shop cars have had suede headliners for 2+ years with out a problem...

 

Can either of you guys supply a brand name? Or an online retailer?

 

the stuff my upholstery guy carries is called headerbond 215F is made local here in Oak Lawn Il,...the number of the manufacturer is 708 499 4240... worst case is all else fails and anyone wants some... just pm me and i can buy it and ship it to you.. my cost is like ~7.50 a can.... but you can do the whole headliner and pillars with 2-3 cans...

 

thats some good info to have... good looking out tweetertc
