Heat Resistant Contact Adhesive (Quart)

I used to work in a cabinet shop that did a lot of laminate work and I was always impressed with how strong contact cements can be. For years after that I've only used what's available in stores because I can't justify spending over $100 for a gallon of the stuff I used to use. The store bought cement is way too thick IMHO and dries up in the can very quickly. The Lockweld is just the opposite. It's made for spraying, so it's much thinner. I mainly use it for small repairs and sometimes larger applications like door panels. I like to use a brush or roller for easy cleanup and this works GREAT for that. Easy to get an even coat and control how much you are applying. Dries in a reasonable amount of time before bonding too. Absolutely perfect for me and the price is right too!

I used this to replace my headliner in my 2002 Duramax crew cab truck. I applied it using an inexpensive HVLP sprayer that I bought exclusively for this project. I sprayed both surfaces, working approximately two linear feet at a time. The adhesive went on flawlessly to each surface with virtually no overspray. I carefully placed the headliner material and pressed it in place with the palm of my hand. Once contact is made, it’s permanent, so work carefully. The headliner looks better than new! I also overlapped the material on all edges and applied a coat of adhesive to the top edge of the substrate and rolled the material over the edges which makes the fabric even more secure than the OEM fabric, ensuring that it will never sag, or come loose. The key to a professional looking job in in the surface preparation. Remove all debris from the original fabric and use compressed air to remove any remaining dust and debris, prior to applying the new fabric. Apply only is a well ventilated area and make sure there are no ignition sources in the area, as the vapors from the adhesive are highly flammable and toxic when wet. Also, use a chemical respirator, goggles and gloves when applying. Once cured, there are virtually no remaining vapor emissions. I highly recommend this adhesive! 😄

Great for auto upholstery, doesn't come apart in the hot interior. It says for spray guns, but I use it with a small brush

I sprayed with a spray gun also bought at Amazon. W-71G with 1.5mm nozzle. Do not thin the glue as it's already thin enough. I did over spray one section of the headliner material and indeed it did go through a little. If you have spare material, maybe do a test to see what is too much. A good video on YouTube by HumbleMechanic provides good tips. Price for this is excellent compared to Weldwood which is sold by the gallon. For my wagon, the quart was just enough. I'll update after a few months of Texas heat. Oh. And it's been 6 weeks and 8 can still slightly different the glue smell. It was very strong the first week, but only slight remnant of it. It should be gone in another month. I'll update if it doesn't.

Great fast-tack adhesion. I deducted 1 star for packaging. It would've been better if the can was in a plastic bag... after a couple tablespoons spilled inside the box, all over the can & paper fill, when my UPS guy dropped it on my concrete steps. Took me 20 minutes of acetone scrubbing to get it off my hands. Strong stuff though!

When doing upholstery you absolutely have to have the right glue, spray Glue just does not work because in a hot car it will all come loose.. this glue seems to work very well but you do need to spray it out of a automotive spray gun I’m just using a small detail gun that has a 1.2 mm tip and it works just fine. Make sure you coat both surfaces very well and wait Five minutes , I always wait a full five minutes. There is no pull apart and put back , It’s a one time so you must line it up and go for it. Also, you must work in a very ventilated area. I would not recommend brushing it on only for small little corners because it will saturate the material and that’s not what you want….. for the price of this material you cannot go wrong…

I love that this comes in 1 quart containers instead of gallons. I used an inexpensive pneumatic paint sprayer with a 1.8mm tip to apply it (50 psi at the gun) and it worked wonderfully. The directions for most of these adhesives tell you to wait a few minutes before sticking down the headliner, I stuck mine down as fast as I could apply the adhesive. One of the most helpful tips I learned from YouTube videos was to apply the adhesive to the foam indirectly (at an angle) so the adhesive doesn’t soak into the headliner foam. It looked kinda “stringy” when I did that, but it stuck like gangbusters. You can spray the adhesive to the headliner board directly, and try to get an “orange peel” texture on the headliner board. Another tip was to let it sit overnight before trying to install the headliner, because the adhesive can still soak through the headliner foam if you’re pushing on it with finger pressure until it dries completely.. always try to use a “flat hand” when attaching the foam. This product does give you a limited ability to reposition the foam as long as you haven’t fully stuck it down. Work in small sections, with a helper if possible & you can get really good results. I had one very small wrinkle under the visor that I couldn’t get out, but I avoided about ten other wrinkles by repositioning and stretching the foam. It was my first time doing a headliner, but I will definitely be looking for opportunities to do it again, since I see how well it works!
