Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq

Decided to do some re-working on my interior. If you look closely, you can see a little bit of the leather on the knee-panels is peeling. This is a result of heat, and something that you'll get when using a backed-leather or backed-vinyl because of how thick it is. The thick material wants to "flatten" itself, meaning it will pull up from corners etc if the glue loses tac. I had been using regular CRC spray adhesive, but that was a mistake.

I picked up HeaderBond, and OH MAN is that stuff strong! I let it tack for only about 45 seconds (it says 5 minutes), and i almost glued my hand to my leg. Its designed for super high heat applications like dash pad covers and headliners. Its about $15 a can, but really really really is worth it.


I also pulled out the old in-dash setup we had. Looks in very nice shape: anyone looking for some stereo speakers for the dash?
