Questions & Answers

How well does this work for touch ups? I only have two spots where my headliner is coming off. ?

Thank you for your great product which worked well for me at a great price for 2. I will buy more product from you.

Who is covered by the policy?

A minivan of this size can be easily fueled by two cans

How well does it perform in high temperatures?

The temperature- 3M (the manufacturer) claims that this helmet can withstand temperatures up to 170°F or 77°C

The top material on the car roof is cloth, can this be used to fix or bond it?

As far as I understand your question, I can only answer no. In case you're talking about a cloth top similar to a vinyl top on the OUTSIDE of the vehicle, then this may not be the right product. I am not an expert, but I found that 3M Super Trim Adhesive, 08090 may be useful. Taking the top off the vehicle and attaching it to the outside. Good luck! This 3M 38808 adhesive product works well to adhere headliner to the underside of the roof and pillars, but is not intended for use outside.

High quality headliner adhesive from 3M
5/5

You can always count on 3M for quality and reliability. The product is excellent for automotive applications. When I installed an 8 6x9 speaker system in my van about eight months ago, I used three of these cans. A couple weeks ago, I purchased two cans of CB to apply to a sagging headliner. It is necessary to spray the board and fabric before attaching them together to get them to When you spray only the fabric then try to stick it to a board, it won't hold up well. Make sure both items to be joined are sprayed with adhesive so that they will not come apart easily.

Fast sticks and holds up great against headliner
5/5

Then and now I purchased both cans but I only really needed one. I've only had them for 3 weeks, but so far so good. We recommend scheduling a half marathon, especially in areas with numerous hills and dips, by doing the middle out small sections at a time. I ended up using the remainder of one can for the headliner, which is both on the fabric and the Here is a video of my car's headliner, which I purchased on ebay for about $70 with a few extra yards for other items. The pros are I will - The interface is simple to use* This sticks a lot*br - You can pull off and reapply most of the way up--but there are some cons To be determined- Report back in 6 months. It is still too early to tell.

You'll pay $17 per can at AutoZone or Advance Auto, as opposed to $22 at the chain stores
5/5

There is a lot of speculation about the best contact adhesive to use for replacing headliner cloth. Using 3M headliner glue is the best way to finish your headliner project. All spray adhesives released from canisters act as liquids, which are absorbed into new fabric and headliner board. While fabric will stick, the bond is not The fabric separates fairly quickly when it is heated and gravity is at play. I've noticed that the 38808 sprays out sort of stringy and thick without really soak through the surface. You then push the cloth onto the headliner board and the adhesive penetrates the surface pores. When it tacks up, simply brush it off. You can't use this product to remove the headliner. The cover is made of vinyl backed by foam. In time, the foam dissolves and a thin thread of fabric hangs from the end. Disintegrated foam is the dust that you find while working on the headliner. This product was enough to cover the headliner of a Jeep Cherokee Sport with just two cans.

I like it very much
5/5

Spray that is sticky and easy to control. This is another 3M product that is highly effective for autos. I am super- The most awesome way to stick. Keep in mind what's beyond your target because overspray can be a messy problem. Controlled spray that is easy to use. A product like this is hard to beat when it comes to 3M. In order to obtain new A pillar trim, I had to send in the vehicle The piece was adhered to the factory piece without bleeding Let me explain. Don't spray a large piece all at once and expect to work it over a big area. Instead, spray a small amount at a time, smooth it out, then another little bit, etc. These things are sticky, and that's just a testament to that.

The contact adhesive I used for my new headliner on my truck was excellent
5/5

These are the items to buy, according to an instructional video. It is so true what they said! Please remember to spray both surfaces or else they will not adhere to one another. In the end, I could have done with two cans instead of one, but more than one. When you have used up all the adhesive in a can and feel you want to save the remaining, it is best to turn it over so nozzle is at bottom. Spray until adhesive clears (to ensure that it does not clog).

In one case, it worked well, in the other, not so much
3/5

In the first can, the spray pattern was relatively generous and worked well. As I was about halfway through the process of installing a crew cab headliner, it failed to deliver can number two. It appeared that the can was not under pressure or there was an obstruction, since barely a bubble would come out of the spray tip. In fact, I even sprayed the empty can with the spray tip. That same day, I was able to finish my headliner thanks to my finding an auto body supply that carries these materials. The worst thing that can happen while working on a project is when the project stops.

The adhesive is very good, staying tacky for a long time
5/5

A nice fan spray spread that covers well in a checkerboard pattern. What has been covered can easily be seen without having to guess. The glue takes to a large headliner quickly, but it does not harden immediately, so you have time to work carefully. If you want to control it better, do it in parts.

PRODUCTS OF HIGH QUALITY FROM THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
5/5

As long as you apply to both surfaces and do it in a low humidity area, it will never come unstuck. I did a terrible uneven job but as long as you apply it evenly to both surfaces and let it dry for several hours, you won't have any problems.
