Vinyl adhesive
Getting ready to put the new vinyl in the Roady. Any suggestion on which adhesive is the best?

Re: Vinyl adhesive
Can't top the Jaxon.
Contact cement is okay but only for places where you do not need to move things much.
I used black weather strip from 3M cause it is forgiving (you can move the vinyl some before it sets) , but can be a little messy.

3M Super 77, but hard to keep the spray tips clean. I did the door tops with them, been great for years.

Re: Vinyl adhesive
The vinyl that covers the rear wheel wells only ends up looking good and lasts if you use the good stuff - Jaxon.

Re: Vinyl adhesive

Thanks

Re: Vinyl adhesive
I couldn't find Jaxon either - can someone post a link?
I used DAP® Landau Top & Trim High Heat Resistant Contact Cement and was very happy with the results. It seems to be what many of the professional shops use, but it cannot be shipped to some locations due to enviro restrictions. It's about $30 for a one gallon can plus shipping.

Re: Vinyl adhesive
for securing door panel vinyl /fabric ,a hot glue gun with the milky sticks works well the armiflex 520 you let dry to the touch and then either hit it with a heat gun or a iron to fuse

A cent? Nawwww, a 'cent's' worth would have been 'original air in the tires'.
