Yep! Back in the 80s I bought what was to become my little red oval. Gold shag carpet throughout. Worst part was they had glued it to the inside of the roof for headliner, as well as every where else they could find to glue it on the inside. I spent more man hours cleaning all of that stuff off, along with the glue, than I did restoring the rest of the entire car. --- On Fri, 9/24/10, Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Scoop on Adhesives To: "TCB" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday, September 24, 2010, 5:18 PM Gold shag carpet?

When I took them out to replace them with Baltic Birch a few years ago, they were still intact. ----- Original Message ---- From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: TCB <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, September 24, 2010 3:32:52 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Scoop on Adhesives I'm replacing the OEM cardboard backing with luan and didn't have enough weight to cover the entire panel so it is loose in some areas. I would up stapling the back to be safe. I can see liquid nail working, too. -----Original Message----- From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> Sender: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:19:37 To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: Scoop on Adhesives Do you mean vinyl adhered to particle board? I have found that liquid nails works well with a couple of clamps. I have used that 3M you mentioned for carpet and love the results. I also used some adhesive from these guys: http://www.secondskinaudio.com/sound-deadening-materials/spray-gun-adhesive.php ----- Original Message ---- From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: TCB <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, September 24, 2010 3:01:13 PM Subject: [tcb] Scoop on Adhesives 3M's 8088 has been highly recommended by many, myself included. Well, I just redid a door panel using vinyl and it worked, eh, okay. Not great, though. So with a little research here is what I found out: 8088 is for carpets and fabric. 8090 is for vinyl and plastic trim, including headliners and engine foam. And 8008 is for rubber window and door molding. All are 3M products. There's the poop, er, scoop on glue.
