Utterly frustrated with aerosol glues.  Finally getting a cheap spray set up and am looking for advice of which adhesive would be best.  I've read people had good experiences with both.  Both are available at yourautotrim, so I am looking if anyone had any cons to either.  It will be used for headliners, door panels, and sub boxes.  The fabric I use is 4way strech vinyl and some microsuede. Thx

aerosol glue is for amateurs and hobbyists. get yourself a good spray gun and 3 gal pot for spraying regular old contact cement if you are going to be doing any extensive interior trim work with vinyl, suede, foam, carpet........well anything. heck even if you are just an amateurs or hobbyist, get one anyway if you want to produce anything that is at least decent and put all that spray adhesive junk behind you. the most costly portion is the gun and pot, contact cement is cheap especially if you get it 5 gallons at a time. it will more than pay for itself after a while (especially considering the outrageous cost of aerosol adhesive, which even the best most expensive of is still just half rate good at best). i only use aerosol glue for temporary things.

Ckeeler, I totally agree with you.  I've dumped the aerosol cans, but now I am in search for more info on adhesives and conact cement.

i have tried weldwood before, but found contact cement just seems to work better.
