What is everyone using for headliner glue? I am not too thrilled to use anything out of an aerosol can, is there a Glue I can put down? I just inherited like 10 yards of headliner like material from work.

thanks.. thats the stuff I just bought.. got lucky i guess. Im gonna do a small piece first to make sure it doesnt melt the foam, than its a go. I have enough to mess it up 3 times though, so im not too concerned.

hey what color can are you guys using?? green can or red? i forget which one i used before, but i wasnt happy with it and ended up finding out i didnt let it tack up long enough.

i always wanted to be able to buy the stuff upholstery shops use but here in san diego i can only get by the gallon

I used the red...

tacking is key.. I let it sit for 15 minutes then went out and put it in place. It shouldn't be going anywhere now, its pretty tough stuff.
