Hot Rods INTERIOR PANEL ADHESIVES.....???

Just cutting out the inner door panels out of hardboard and so I won't have to do it twice wondering which kind of adhesive/contact cement is the way to go when mounting the vinyl/fabric cloth to the hardboard.Spray, brush on....... brands that actually work?

 

3M has more then one,read there labels.
What has worked for me is Pro-stick65 spray.
But small spots I've done with contact glue,there are some shoe glues that hold very well for small spots too.

 

I use weldwood contact cement.

Just happened to look at a past post and sounds like Weldwood is the way to go. Thanks

Did a quick search on Weldwood Contact cement and a bunch of different ones came up. https://www.google.com/search?q=wel...wDw&bih=945&biw=1680&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS885US885 Which one is everybody using? I need to go get some. Thanks.

 

I get it at ace hardware, Lowe's sells it also. Get you a pack of those cheap ass brushes also.

 

I dip the brush in the glue and swirl it around, slinging the glue on the workpiece in circles, then smooth it out. Cover both pieces. Let it dry to a good tack, line it up and stick it. Rub it down good, flip it over on a clean surface, and brush some glue on the back side about 2" on the doorboard and the cover. Let that tack up, roll it and stick it. Trim off the excess. Serve with a cold beer, serves 2

 

Oh, and i like to use the industrial velcro tape to secure it. With the 2 pieces of velcro stuck together, stick it to the door panel. Clean the door, line up the panel and press it in place. Then all you've gotta do is pull the velcro apart to remove the door panel

 

Practice doing corners with leftover vinyl on another piece of plastic or whatever your door panel material is. Corners can be a little tricky to get just right. Some good videos and techniques online.
