I have found that super weatherstrip adhesive holds the best over a long
period of time. It is imperative that both surfaces are perfectly clean and
that the glue won't pull off whatever coating (like paint) is underneath it.
The adhesive I am talking about is made by Permatex and is tiem # 80638 or
part # 80b. I use acid brushes to apply and throw away brush after each use.
Coat both sides and allow to dry..then apply a quick coat on one side
allowing to get almost dry (very tacky) and press the pieces together. I
used this over 5 years ago on HERBEAM and nothing that was prepared properly
is coming apart. If sticking vinyl to metal I advise bare metal..the glue
adheres very well to bare metal (as rootes did) and you can paint any areas
still exposed after gluing. For large areas spray contact cement will hold
most applications and for restoring floors sound deadening I use roofing
paper and plastic roof cement. Ends up just like original and waterproof
too.
