Gents,

 

im re-doing a leather dashboard at the moment, taken the leather off but now need to re apply the leather

 

i was told i need a glue that is heat resistant i.e that will resist the heat of the sun

 

can anyone recomend a good glue to use please

 

thanks

You want a 'proper' contact adhesive - one that's locked away in the DIY store! I've used evo stick for doing bits and pieces before, but not a dash - which will get hammered by the sun I guess! May be worth contacting a re-trimming supplies place and seeing if they've got any suggestions?

ECO Stik - Instant contact adhesive - Solvent version.

 

(comes in a can, you brush it on)

 

Make sure its the Solvent version, It will be locked away in safe or under tills, the non-solvent version is crap.

Will this be ok if the dash is left in the sun all day? seen plenty of sparay on glue, but the guy i got the leather from said i need to get a glue that will withstand the heat from being in the sun :wink:

I can recommend this glue - used this on my interior panels 7 years ago - no problems. Not cheap but does the job:

This is the one you need to use, if you want to only do the job once.
