Hilly Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Has anyone ever tried to glue in a liner using 3m spray adhesive? What were your results? I was thinking of trying it for the lining for a holster. I don't think it would soak through, so whaddya think? Bad idea? Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 27, 2008 Moderator Report Posted February 27, 2008 It works well, but is kind of pricey compared to buying gallons of AP cement for production work. I used to use it quite a bit on a lot of folded things. Ventilate, respirate, all that stuff. Quote
Members Spider Posted February 27, 2008 Members Report Posted February 27, 2008 I have used it and we use it at work for mockup graphic lamination. They use it in the auto upholstry business also to do headliners and stuff. Works good but Bruce is right. It can be pricey. Plus you consider the masks and spray booth kinda stuff to do and maybe AP cement is better. We have a large section in the warehouse that will never be cleaned again simply because of the overspray. But it does work good. I hope this helps. Quote
TracyMoss Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 They make an upholstry glue about the same cost as AP cement and I used it when I worked at a saddle shop in Texas with a paint sprayer for woolskin lined items and many other items. It worked really well and made it easier to apply a light coat. Quote
Contributing Member barra Posted February 27, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) there are many varieties of 3m spray adhesive. Some stick like poo to an Army blanket instantly. we use a fair amount of 3m adhesives trimming aircraft panels and without going through the adhesive storage locker, I think from memory 75 allows you to reposition before it goes off/cures Barra <---------------- Ya don't think a teeny tiny company like 3M has a website http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_U...SbeSC2785KN7Pgl Edited February 28, 2008 by barra Quote

Members Andy Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 I use the 3m stuff, a few different types, also look to your local auto parts shop/jobber for the "gorilla snot" spray glue for interiors...it has a longer set/work time and works AWESOME when used wet (it'll act like normal cement if you let it set a while). Good stuff, but the brush on by the gallon is the cheapest. Andy Quote
Kevin King Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I use 3M90 for all of my liners. Havnt had a problem yet. KK Quote
Members craftsman827 Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 WHAT IS AP CEMENT ? Quote
yaklady Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I used 3m to put padding on the back of some leather panels that I tooled to decorate a bar once. It worked quite well. Quote
TracyMoss Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 AP (All Purpose) cement. Which is what Barge and Masters cement is. If there is a debate, I chose masters every time. Quote
Contributing Member barra Posted February 28, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 28, 2008 Aircraft!? I thought all Australians rode Kangaroos. Only on weekends mate. During the week we fly in Aircraft. However being an inventive lot (We Aussies invented the black box before some one else coloured it orange) we have discovered a way to fly in aircraft and ride kangaroos at the same time. Quote

Contributing Member barra Posted February 29, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 29, 2008 TM. I couldn't resist. Can everyone tell that I have entered the ground hog day phase of this deployment. Barra Quote
