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

we use a very expensive but very good vinyl glue called jaxon which is roughly $75 a gallon.

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.

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

I looked for Jaxon adhesive and nothing shows up. Is there another name fo it here in the US? Is it even sold here?
Thanks

Steve

Armaflex 520 is a strong contact glue not too $$ i glued my aircraft fabric together with it ...hope its good

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.

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

Another vote for 3M Super 77 Spray Contact Adhesive.

Me likey pretty much.

But what was stock-originally used? ... for those trying to keep the car totally original. Like me

Oh a cent of humor

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