I have to thank you! I wasn’t looking for that information but now I know why gluing a failing headliner was never a permanent repair. I thought it might be the foam on the back of the fabric that was deteriorating. Now I know! Thanks!

I've also been doing upholstery for over 40 years, we found out a LONG time ago not to use spray can adhesive for headliners. Weldwood is good stuff, there used to be a green colored contact cement that was even better but they changed the formulation and it was no good, don't think that company is around anymore. And I have also used cheap quart spray guns, and you never really have to clean them out UNLESS you leave the glue in and the weather is hot and it dries out inside the gun.

These 5 minutes were more instructive and useful than hours and hours of the hey-look-at-me bois. Thanks!

Also, i gotta say, its awesome that you read AND give feedback on everyone’s comments. Even after being busy all day. Honored to be let into your shop, via video. Thanks for taking the time, for real.

Excellent tutorial. To the point, brief and concise, on target. He presents the stuff clearly, in order and addresses normal unavoidable questions that will come up to any normal person trying to use the product. Great instructor, definitely thumbs up and subscribe.

Most people don't know about these old school ways because in a throw away society it's all about move the new version of product in the most wasteful way so more can be sold.
I've known that there were better adhesives for some time but didn't know where to get them or what they were, so thank you for the information.

[steveinmontana]

Thank you Rudolph. I was wondering about the spray gun clean up. Now I know.

[iRepairElectronics]

Im glad you made this video. after watching your seat repair video i was trying to think what it was you had in the gun. i kinda thought contact adheasive, but i was also thinking it would clog up like crazy. but thanks for showing me the way.

This is One of the times i am sooo glad i procrastinated putting my new headliner in the truck!! I already have the 3m 77 and was going to use it, but really felt it wasn't going to hold for years to come. Woodweld looks like the best product to you!!

[jrussell]

You didn’t mention how expensive it is in a spray can. It doesn’t go far. and falls off. Highly recommended by all the experts. I learned the hard way.

[freex]

You got it. The 3m spray works if you can keep things cool. Heat makes it wimp out, like the heat found in cars. I use to use it when I recovered my pool tables, and it would stay hard and strong over years and then have to rip the old felt off the slate. In a vehicle it was crap and with heat it would turn loose. Barge is another excellent contact adhesive, and I used it to glue new rubber pool bumpers to the wood that mounted the bumpers to the sides of the table after reclothing them as well.

I started with the 3 and it just makes a gum-pucky mess of everything! I have however been affraid of spray guns getting clogged etc. I feel much better now about giving it a go, I am doing a 56 Chev Bel Air seat in Suede right now and I knew 3 would be a failure but wasnt sure which direction to go, thank you for sharing your years of experience :D I appreciate you for doing this video!

[michaelprice]

Well you answered what I had been wondering which is do you have to clean your gun after every use or every day. That weld wood contact adhesive aint no joke. I think thats what they put the space shuttle together with! Good video as always, keep them coming please.

Awesome video, great info.
I had my car vandalized with spray paint and paint from a can. I used mineral spirits and removed 99% of it. I was shocked at how good it worked with ZERO damage to my car. Even the rubber trim that was sun beaten and faded…took nearly all of that off. That was the only place with a hint of the vandals work. I imagine the vandals were shocked because by the time the sun came up, my car was sparkly clean. Not only did i remove all the vandal’s work, but I cleaned and washed/waxed the vehicle right after. Mineral Spirits are no joke, saved me for sure.

[TA-opvn]

Exactly what I needed to know. Straight on point no BS, thank you very much.

[orangetruckman]

Thank you for sharing this. As an automotive hobbyist, finding a decent adhesive hasn’t been easy and I’ve never like any of the ones I’ve used. Trying to get free information from local upholstery shops has gone nowhere. So again, thank you.
Ps-great sense of humor no pants 😆

[jackwessels]

If it's not broken don't fix it!! That is all I ever used when I had my upholstery shop for 18 years. From the smallest to the biggest jobs. I agree with you 100%.

[Unistarguy]

Super good information, I haven't been impressed with super 77 but I use contact adhesive in leatherworking all the time and I feel very confident in it

[ggazzara]

I agree. i learned the hard way. I used 3M adhesive on a headliner once and it failed. Thanks for posting!
