Most of that fabric is stretchy too so it'll conform to complicated pieces if you place and stretch correctly. Only thing you gotta look for is "runs" in the fabric (similar to nylon) that you can't see until you stretch the piece you're wrapping with. Other than that, it's great to work with.

I use Loctite Super Adhesive Permanent. It's $14 a can, but it does the trick. Just follow directions on it for the best adhesion and works on anything.

what do u mean by a run in the fabric

run is like a weird stretch in the fabric that kinda leaves a little stretch of whatever is behind it showing through, think of when a girl tears her nylons, or you suck up a thread in a carpet. basically when yous stretch it you'll have a line with the substrate showing through.

Just check for it before you apply it. Worst case scenario, you miss it and just tear it off and try a new piece. It won't just happen while sitting there.

it just happens, its silly, im not too sure why, but sometimes you can just kinda tug it a certain way and you'll notice it.

i've used 3m super 77 doing like normal carpet/suede/vinyl and had no problems, 90 couldnt hurt for the extra lil bit it costs
