Default What glue to use for replacing cockpit interior fabric

I found the old fashioned "DAP" contact cement working the best. I am sure
others are fine as well. The ones to stay away from are the "green",
environmentally friendly labeled adhesives. They don't work worth a crap!

Greetings,

I've got a SH glider. Have ordered new cockpit interior fabric, and am
ready to glue them in. Old fabric is removed, but there is some
residual glue on the cockpit sides that is pretty well stuck that I'd
prefer not to have to remove.

Asked SH, but got no reply.

One pilot suggested Pliobond, but it has a stronger odor that lingers
after it dries that I'm really not very excited about.

Has anyone used the Weldwood contact cement successfully or is there
another lower odor cement/glue that is recommended???

Many thanks in advance!

Gary


To get the best bond of the new fabric, regardles of what glue you
use, you will need to remove the old residue first. Time, scotchbrite
pads, and 3M General Adhesive Cleaner
