I did the headliner in my daily and it looked perfect. now its sagging a few days later. so, i look at the spray glue i used and it says not for auto headliners, oops. where can i get good spray glue?

 

[DroptLinkin]

all the can glues suck . especially for headliners, and even more so if its vinyl. they just dont hold. the only way to go is to get contact adhesive (the kind for laying down lenolium countertops n stuff). you can get it at home depot but it might be expencive there. comes in 5 gallon buckets(maybe you can find a smaller size). you use a cheap paint gun with an air compressor. apply the glue to both surfaces, let it sit for like 5 mins. and then lay down the fabric. it will bond instantly so be careful. also make sure you prep the headliner good with a wire brush or sander.

are you sure you prepped it right and sprayed enough glue??

 

[enough_talkin]

ive never had a headliner sag with high strength 90....its all about prep with that stuff but it is nowhere near as good as the contact glue thats in the 5 gallon buckets...now this whole let the glue sit for 5 minutes..thats a bit extreme...letting the glue sit for 15 seconds and it will still bond instantly...i suggest going with the good stuff and buy a cheap 20$ spray gun...do a couple of headliners for other people and you will pay off all your investments and make some change in the process

could i use a paint brush and apply a light coat?

some you can but it depends on what you plan on sticking together..also that stuff is thick so painting it on isnt going to be what you think

[stankin85]

I USED THE 3M SPRAY GLUE TO DO THE CRUSH IN MY TRUNK, THAT SHIT STARTED TO SAG THE NEXT DAY!
THEN I WENT TO AUTO ZONE BOUGHT THE 4.00 SHIT, AND IT'S BEEN FINE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW.
TRY THAT STUFF, IT IT DOESN'T WORK, HEY YOUR ONLY OUT 4 BUCKS!

 

[lowperformancecc]

I use a brand called "stick it!" ...

did my entire interior in tweed with it...been installed for over 1 year no probs,, its all about the prep work though

 

[f150lowrider]

try this it holds up in my truck GOOD its called DAN TACK cantact spray it bonds to about anythaing

it cost about 15 a can but its worth every penny man try it

 

[1lownissan]

i work in a shop that makes office cubicles and we got this can stuff called "fast foam". i think it's made by 3m but that stuff is awesome. it's been doing a killer job on my interior.

the contact glue worked like a charm
