jft69z Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 3M Super Trim Adhesive, 08090 is what I use. Sticks like...glue, lol. I've tried others, this stuff is good. Welcome to the forum & we like pictures, so post some of your ride if you get time. Joe T From the Manufacturer: 3M Trim Adhesive is a fast-acting, high-strength, aerosol contact adhesive for automotive repair and restoration projects. This trim adhesive creates a secure bond between materials such as vinyl, insulation, foam, padding and rubber to impervious materials such as metal. Installing new headliners and car hood installation pads are common uses for this adhesive. The trim adhesive is resistant to both heat, moisture.and plasticizing oils. Applying the adhesive is fast and easy with the aerosol spray can. Simply be sure that both surfaces to be joined are clean and dry. Apply three coats of adhesive to each surface. Spray the third coat in the opposite direction of the first two applications. Allow the adhesive to dry until tacky, which generally takes about five minutes. Finally, mate the surface to be bonded with firm, uniform pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC-71 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Make new sail panels out of 1/16” ABS plastic. Glue holds much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
