does antone have any suggestions on how to attach the cloth to factory plastic panels or your hardened fiberglass mold? I tried using spray glue but the resin causes it to release if you get the least little bit on it and i have also tried staples but they seem to crack the plastic alot of the time. HELP!!!

first you must get the piece sanded down wet with 400 sandpaper and then spray a coat of clear over the hardened resin so it will not leak through when you use the spray glue ***i might try the 3m spary adhesive in a can before contact cement for small jobs***

i usually use my plastic welder (or solder iron) on low and bond the grille cloth to the back side of the factory panel. That seems to hold real well so far.
