Re: [DML] What adhesive should I use for Trim Panel door edges.

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should be able to find a "Spray Adhesive" at Home
Depot.  If I remember correctly, the 3M is in a can
that's red at the top and fades to black at the
bottom.  Also, you can go to an automotive supply
place like Pep Boys and get "3M General Trim Adhesive"
 (White can, red letters).  I've done several
headliners and interior projects and found the 3M
brand to work better than the other "spray adhesives".
 You do have to be careful not to get it on any
finished surfaces as it can be a real pain to get off.

Another option that wouldn't risk the overspray
associated with sprays is to use a little "DAP" it's
also a contact cement, but comes in a can and is
brushed on.  You put it on one surface, then some on
the other surface, wait three minutes and stick them
together.  Done.  (Just don't let them touch before
you have them in position or it's like trying to get
duct tape apart after it touches itself.)

Hope that helps,

P.S.  All of this stuff is flamable and nasty for the
respiratory system so use only in a well ventilated
areas, away from heat sources, with a respirator, etc.
etc. etc.
