I'm trying to attach fleece to my door panel for fiberglassing but the staples don't penetrate the plastic and just deform and fall off.
Im using T50 staples, could that be the problem, or is it just the plastic is a pain in the a$$ to staple through?
Are there any other methods to secure the fleece than staples?
I've heard of people using glue.
Maybe if you could find an electric stapling gun, like what they use at uphoulstry (sp?) shops then that'd work.

thanks man, i'll try an electric staple gun first, what glue do people use? and once the fleece has resin applied would the glue continue to adhere?
I just remember seein alpine's car team using super glue (i'm pretty sure thats wht it was)
I'm pretty sure if you use an electric stapler, it'll work

Super glue is your friend... and it really doesnt matter if it hold after the glass is applied. The super glue is there to hold it in place until the resin dries (just like wood glue and screw's/nails).
i would think some 3m spray adhesive should work fine.
I had the same problem. I would suggest using hot glue. It worked great and is cheap.

yea i used hot glue for my door panels.
3m spray trim adhesive is all you need.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
Hot glue works very well.
What I use is Oem Hot glue for plastic. It works pretty good they use it at car factories for holdin some peices in cars. I know select products carries there website is www.selectproducts.com get the yellow stick it works the best from what ive seen
