[TR] Gorilla Glue for Upholstery?

[Bob Danielson]

Without knowing what contact cement he used it's tough to say why it isn't 
holding up but two things come to mind: 1. you have to cover both pieces 
with cement AND let both sides dry to a tacky feel before joining them. Lots 
of people don't wait long enough so it doesn't properly adhere. 2. The 
proper contact cement to use is a high heat headliner adhesive such as 
K-Grip Plus that's made to hold headliners in place. (

kits that I make.

According to the Gorilla Glue site, it can be used for plastic to metal. 
What it doesn't say is how it will hold up when your car is baking in the 
sun in the middle of the summer.
