No shops close by, that is why I am going to try doing it. I saw a video using the Permatex Body Shop Heavy Duty stuff. They seemed to have time to smooth out wrinkles and stuff.
It does take a little technique, but so does everything these days. If I was still up there I would've gladly come by to help. Two heads are better than one, as the old adage goes. In this case, there's really no room for error.That's what I'm afraid of Jack. If it goes down wrong I am skewered. The wagon board is a lot longer than the sedan and will need several folds to unroll upon it. Maybe I will try a test on a small patch and see what it acts like. That way I will be prepared with no surprises.
You're absolutely right about upholstery shops using a spray gun to apply the adhesive. It's a more efficient and effective way to apply a greater amount of adhesive compared to the spray can method. I have found with the spray can method that you can sometimes run out of adhesive while you're applying it.My experience with that kind of adhesive is mostly with using the 3M 77 variant. i have never used the 76 version or the PermaTex one either for that matter. I may have to though as a recent quick peek at my replacement headliner revealed that it is getting rattier by the day. I may well end up laying a coat of two of resin on the back side of it to strengthen its rigidity and then go from there. As I noted somewhere, most of the pro shops shoot their adhesive using a spray gun and compressor method.
