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. Quote Need an install?

killer_spirll Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 what do u mean by a run in the fabric Quote
raytard Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 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.

Neo_frog Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 is there anyway u can prevent it on fix it 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. Quote Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

raytard Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 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 Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC
