What glue to use

[SR_Neale 10]

Hi all. Have just been lucky enough to buy a leather interior for the rado. My question is what glue is best to use to re attach the leather where it has come away on the door cards.

[g0ldf1ng3r 15]

good question - I need to do similar to the door cards in the valver

 

I was going to use some hi temp contact adhesive or similar if I can find any - hi temp due to the top of the door card being in the sun

Something like this

They also do a thicker glue of the same type.

i did mine recently and just used a normal superglue i had lying around

Cheers jim. I knew I had seen your pics with the pegs but just couldn't remember where. Did you have any issues with using normal super glue?

I like the temporary 'securing' mechanism lol

Knowing my luck I'll end up getting the pegs stuck lol.

I use this and it's excellent.

The only thing to be wary of with superglue it does eventually go brittle and will start breaking up

I think I'll give this a go. Wasn't over keen on using super glue due to the possibility of it bleeding through and ending up with white blobs everywhere. How far does it go as there isn't a huge amount to do?

It does go quite far. I reckon the smallest tin would be more than enough.

ha ha ha

 

make sure you don't use plastic pegs - old skool wood only ;)

Retro-pegs ftw

thanks Jamie

 

I will have a look into that also

I had great success with TrimFix High Temp spray adhesive. Just mask up everywhere and take your time.

I used pegs, too...

This sends shivers down my spine as used the same method very good but time consuming

[Jamie 1]

I didn't have to use any form of clamp - once that AS glue grabs it's stuck. The downside obviously is you need to get it right first time

If you need more pressure from the retro pegs, wrapping rubber bands round them works well.

Evo serious glue, but just needed to do some edges.
