Adhesive for Trims . Which One
Hi.
I have tried the search but to no avail .
I have started to re-trim my locost as it was tired & in a bad way.
All was going well untill today & the direct sunlight, The black leatherette style trim that i stuck down using Evo-Stick spray on contact
adhesive has started to lift !!
Which brand /make does everybody on here use ??
Thanks
Dean

I used evo-stick impact adhesive really good stuff apply to both surfaces itgoes dry then as soon as the suraces touch they grab and theres not moving
it.
IIRC its £10 from buildbase but im sure travis perkins ect sell it as well

To stick vinyl to plywood I used Evostick Time Bond.
It allows you to peel back and stretch a bit more to remove corner creases and around instrument holes etc.
So far so good.

There are two types of Evo-stik.
Make sure you use the environmentally unfriendly version with lots of nasty solvents - much better than the namby pamby tree hugger version

Yup. You definately want the solvent version rather than the solvent-free version. The solvent free evostick is rubbish. I used it on my tunnel top
and the first time it rained it all lifted.... Grrrrr....

Second vote for time-bond... smells great (if you like that sort of thing!) and sticks really well after an initial short jiggling about time!
B+Q sell it, but its kept locked away so you have to ask for it.

In my local B+Q they have an empty tin which you have to take to the front and get a full one.... Same with the proper contact adhesives and
solvents. Of course there's no sign to tell you this.
I went to get some solvents and found the empty tin- thought someone had snorted the contents and put the tin back!!!
Only worked it out a few days later!!! In my defense I'd like to point out that it was a Sunday (brain's day of rest)....
