Man I hate to fail but fail I have. While there are things I can do pretty well, apparently gluing vinyl to Masonite/FRP/etc, isn't one of them.
Last year I made new headliner boards and covered them with white vinyl. Looked great. This year, in the heat of the summer some places started to sag off and eluded my attempts to re-glue them. this morning I visited an automotive upholstery place where I know the manager and asked him how he did it.
" Spray contact cement like you get anywhere, wait till it's almost dry and put the two pieces together...that's it"
So I go home, remove one of the Masonite panels and do just that only to have the vinyl wrinkle up where the glue was apparently too thick. I spread it as evenly as I could.
So I've pulled it all down, ripped the old new vinyl off and am taking it to them. I just don't have time to screw with it any more.
Man, I really hate to be be beaten by something. &^&$#@))(^%#
