[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 231986, member: 6657"] Thanks for the kind words. I used the nautolex 88 adhesive for the large flat areas/pieces. It's a more forgiving adhesive because the immediate bond is fairly weak and it makes it easier to make any adjustments and to roll out any air bubbles. For wrapping the edges of the vinyl around to the back of the pieces and the smaller and irregular shaped pieces I used contact cement for the strong immediate bond, this eliminated the need to staple and/or tape the edges until the 88 adhesive set and cured. Where I used the 88 adhesive, I applied it to the back of the vinyl and to the piece I was working on as per the instructions for maximum bonding. [/QUOTE]
