    I'm redooing the interrior of the cabin of my boat. and I've gotten everything now all I need is to find a good adhesive that will stick for sure cus I already tried with the spray stuff you use on cars and it stuck on some areas but it drooped in others..

    what is the absolute best adhesive for this kind of stuff and if thats to expensive whats the second best? LOL

    the refurbishing will be in vinyl

    Contact adhesive is a good medium to be using, if you used the "spray stuff", did you do both sides and leave it to dry before joining together?
    Contact is applied to both sides and allowed to be touch dry, usually about 10 to 15 munutes. If using vinyl, it may pay to stick say 1/8" foam on the bacj first, it gives a more even appearance
