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

cool thanks man, ill see how all this comes out lol

alright do i gotta use a brush or something to spread the cement out evenly? i did one of my armrests and the first time i could see bumps were the cement was

i just did mine, using microfiber and used spray contact glue and then hot glue to wrap the extra around the bottom.

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?

what contact cement are you using joey? still havnt found a great sticky glue for vynal. well one to my liking that is.

i always use Weldwood contact cement, in the red can. i get it from either home depot or Valu(local hardware store)

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.

joey lol i was using a spoon haha now i have a small brush used to spread bar b que sauce on meat lol and it came out great no bumps at all

a spoon, lmao.

good stuff

A BBQ brush, in Texas to spread contact cement. Is there anything that CANT be done with cooking utensils now a days???

Be sure to post some pictures to show us all how its looking

ive got the 3m vynal top spray and its pretty good but still wouldnt trust it on certain instances where tight curves and such.
