wrapping dash
Friday, December 14, 2007 9:59 AM
I have seen some dash boards wrapped in either suede or vynal, question is wat can i use to adhere it to the dash that will hold up to some texas summer heat and if it holds will stay adhered for a while? Also does the material have to be strechty? i have some material in mind but it doesnt stretch at all, any help would be appreciated, thanks guys

contact cement. spray adhesive proves inferior to contact cement.

and you're gonna want something at least a little stretchy to tuck around all the odd angles of the dash board

otherwide your corners and edges will look like poo

ya, a brush will work. i like to use a spray gun, but most people dont have access to the tools to do it.

what did you use to spread it on the arm rest?

I've had very good luck using 3M vinyl roof adhesive, which comes in a rattle can. The key is that you have to spray both surfaces, and let it tack up good before you stick them together. If you're going to use contact adhesive, and you don't have the resource to spray it, get a laminate roller from Home Depot and use that.
