    I've also been doing upholstery for over 40 years, we found out a LONG time ago not to use spray can adhesive for headliners. Weldwood is good stuff, there used to be a green colored contact cement that was even better but they changed the formulation and it was no good, don't think that company is around anymore. And I have also used cheap quart spray guns, and you never really have to clean them out UNLESS you leave the glue in and the weather is hot and it dries out inside the gun.

    Awesome video, great info.
    I had my car vandalized with spray paint and paint from a can. I used mineral spirits and removed 99% of it. I was shocked at how good it worked with ZERO damage to my car. Even the rubber trim that was sun beaten and faded…took nearly all of that off. That was the only place with a hint of the vandals work. I imagine the vandals were shocked because by the time the sun came up, my car was sparkly clean. Not only did i remove all the vandal’s work, but I cleaned and washed/waxed the vehicle right after. Mineral Spirits are no joke, saved me for sure.

    You got it. The 3m spray works if you can keep things cool. Heat makes it wimp out, like the heat found in cars. I use to use it when I recovered my pool tables, and it would stay hard and strong over years and then have to rip the old felt off the slate. In a vehicle it was crap and with heat it would turn loose. Barge is another excellent contact adhesive, and I used it to glue new rubber pool bumpers to the wood that mounted the bumpers to the sides of the table after reclothing them as well.

      If you're using "three mules" 77 that's not the right stuff anyways. I think the number is 8088 or something like that. It works but the Weldwood is superior. Problem is, here in the land of the Green Nazis California no can gets. So you have to go to Arizona to buy it and mule it back just so you can do your goddam job. As for myself I won't be changing adhesive but I am changing states.

    I'm about to replace the headliner of my 2003 Corvette which is a simple job because can remove the top, turn it upside down on my table (on top of towels for padding so the paint won't get scratched), and go to work. I've never done this before but it seems easy because there is not much headliner there. Amazingly I was just about to order Super 77 but then this excellent video just appeared in the nick of time! Thank you!
    Looking online, I see that DAP WeldWood comes in not only 1 and 5 gallon cans but I only need several ounces to coat both sides. Luckily there is a new option: "DAP Weldwood Landau Top & Trim HHR Solvent Type Spray Contact Adhesive" in a light blue and black 14 ounce spray can. The can has the same colors we see on your 5 gallon drum containing this same product.
    One product reviewer wrote that the spray comes out lumpy and that can be felt through the headliner. Another product reviewer described how he sprays the product into a small container then paints it onto his project using a brush. Care to comment?
    I live in Florida where the heat in unbearable half the year. So thank you again for explaining the benefit of this superior product.

    Yep! I did auto upholstery installs only(no sewing, someone else made the seat cover kits)for about 4-5 years for a company that replaced the cheap interiors in mini trucks like Datsun, Dodge d50's and some Toyota's back in the late '70's. Never used a rattle can of adhesive, and the back area of a Datsun King Cab had to be carpeted up to the door panel line that was to be glued in, oh yeah the door panels. I think they hired me because all I did was vinyl tops back then. A place in Portland OR called Perfect-Fit McDonald Co. sold 5 gallons of glue for about 45 bucks. Different brands came and went, I recall green and even a red color glue but mostly a beige color glue. I used a Graco 2.5 gallon pressure pot and never cleaned anything but the Binks gun nozzle. Later when I opened a auto body and paint shop I had a headliner in a '82 Zed 28 Camaro to replace and used a 3M rattle can but it all came loose and I had to buy a cheap gun and a qt can of general purpose contact cement to fix the headliner.

    I started using Formica adhesive. It was 25.00 for 5 gallons. That was in the 70’s. The supply houses wanted 40.00 for 5gallons. I installed a vinyl top in the winter with the big door open. After sticking it it was permanent. The only difference was it was red. The spray glue has a use for tacking . I agree with you it’s basically garbage for any thing permanent.

    I'm 100% in agreement! I've tried many different brands of can spray adhesive and they all eventually fail. My last and final project I tried with 3M spray was on speaker cabinets veneered with Mahogany. within a day the veneer started lifting, it was a total disaster, and I wasted expensive veneer. Weldwood contact is the best, period. Once bonded, it strays stuck forever.

      It IS the foam backing that deteriorates. The glue is nearly always still on the headliner panel, that the material is glued onto.
      It's important to prep the surface and use adequate amount of glue to make a positive bond.
      Use too little and the foambacked fabric will be reaching down and letting you know, if you didn't do it right.😁☕

    Thanks for the suggestion! I've been using the stuff in the spray can, but I only use it for hobby level projects. Thankfully I've never had a problem with it failing. But it's expensive in spray cans, and I'm happy to learn that its cheaper and just as easy to use from bulk containers. I'll dedicate an old spray gun and give it a try!

    100% Agreement from me!! I have used that CRAP on headliners, per the exact instructions on the can, I was fine with it for about week, then the returns started. Stopped immediately Even stopped doing the headliner repair, USED to be part of my detail offerings, which now I Do not even detail anymore since I had my fight with cancer a few years ago.

I don't have a lot of space or ancompressor as I'm sure many dont so the can is probably what you have access to. I used both the orange can and the 3m, I found the spray pattern was better on the 3m. It also felt a bit better than the orange can, just a tiny bit though. Both seem to work for small parts where I used them.

    Just some FYI reference the "spray-gun" shown in this video, i.e., a Chinesium: low grade, cheap spray gun. Is a nock-off of the Bink's model "7," syphon spray gun. Another spray-gun used in the Autobody trade was a "DeVilbiss" spray-gun. Who's design was used for any year's in the Autobody world for many year's before the Japanese spray guns (Sharpe's) started to enter the market approx. early 1980's, if I'm not mistaken. If I'm wrong, oh well I might be a little off on the date. As a old and retired Autobody guy, that's all I ever seen in upholstery shop's, were spray gun setup's. Some of the shops used two quarts spray-pot's or even three gallon spray-pot's. (you get to where your putting on two or three vinyl tops a week, this is what your gonna need.) But never as we called them "Spray-Bomb's," i.e., spray-cans from some bull-shite company that sounds like 3-men. As someone who has personally removed a lot of automotive vinyl tops, to save some money so the upholstery shop didn't have to, the one thing I always notice about factory vinyl tops, was the uniform coverage, and appearance of the glue, i.e. it was always sprayed on via a spray-gun.

      Hello Stanwood, You are 100% correct in your recollections! I used them all through the years. Glue pots, then DeVelbiss, then Sharpes. Then I discovered the Harbor Freight. Now I buy a $27 HF spray gun every two or so years. Hard to argue that one.... I have done hundreds of vinyl tops, mostly in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Thanks for bringing back some memories!

    Thanks for the video! Weldwood has a spray aerosol can as well, have you tried this? Might be the answer for people who have small projects. Another question, when using mineral spirits to remove old adhesive, will remaining mineral spirits film cause adhesian issues? What can be used to remove any remaining film? Also, this stuff has a VERY STRONG ODOR, use in a very well ventilated area. I bought a very small can at home big box store. I found that it's pretty potent and will destroy cheap (practice) vinyl. Thanks again for the video!

      HELLO 134ziNG4, You are so welcome! I didn't know about the aerosol can. After the mineral spirits have dried, I never think about any film. You can apply it over dried mineral spirits, but I would not re-apply it over wet mineral spirits. I have never had any problem doing it this way. Thanks for the awesome comment!

    The ONLY reason why the 'children' recommend the 3M Super 77 is because it's as close to instant gratification as they can get. Doing it right the first time is not the point. Doing it as fast and easy as possible is all that matters to 'them'.
    The real purpose of the 3M Super 77 is as you mentioned, NOT EVER DRYING or really being permanent. It's great for the vapour barrier film one attaches to the door metal between the door and the door card to keep the water coming down from the window off the door card.

    I've been doing some research to replace my headliner and I can remember this being used in my dad's shop back in the day restoring cars. I'm sure it hasn't changed much because it still looks pretty toxic. Is there a product that will work for daily driver that is fairly safe that you know of? Even if it only lasts 5 years I don't care, have to compromise. I am out in Colorado and Utah so it gets scorching hot. I'm also going to put some Kilmat on the roof to keep the heat and noise out while I'm replacing the headliner.

I use dap when I'm doing a big job, it's far to expensive to use anyways spay can cost as much as gallon of dap.

    Yes and no.
    Weld wood is great for professionals, and very serious hobbyists.
    That said, many DIY people searching on YT for advice lack a compressor, they don’t have in-line air filtration, regulators, hoses, and spray guns. So?
    For those folks, there IS one 3M spray product that WILL work for attaching a NEW headliner to a CLEAN headboard card!
    Yes, it will last, even in hot humid Florida… I know, because I have done it, and my 2006 Porsche Alcantara headliner is holding firm at 4+ years so far. No issues.
    Caveat: You must choose the CORRECT type of 3M product. Only use 3M SKU# 38808, labeled as 3M Headliner Adhesive.
    While there are several types of 3M spray adhesives sold, THE ONLY 3M aerosol to use for automobile headliners is the 3M product which is labeled as “3M #38808 Headliner Adhesive”.
    Never use Type 77. Ever.
    The Type 77 product is not intended for automobiles. It will fail. Stop. Put it down.
    One more time, NEVER, EVER use 3M “Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive”.
    Only use 38808. The 3M #38808 Headliner Adhesive is intended specifically for automobile headliners, and is NOT the same chemistry as Type 77.
    Notice that our professional video host here is showing “3M Type 77” as an example of what won’t work for headliners, and in that respect he is speaking fact. But I found this video somewhat misleading, because I myself have used 3M #38808 from an aerosol can successfully in harsh, hot, humid conditions and with great success.
    The benefit of using (the correct type of) aerosol spray, is convenience obviously, and the lack of any investment in spray equipment. If you don’t own a 9.5+CFM compressor and the required AIR/OIL filtration, air hose set-up and suitable spray gun, and you don’t plan on repairing more than one headliner, you absolutely can still do an excellent headliner repair using two or three cans ($20 each) of the 3M #38808 Headliner Adhesive spray.
    On the other hand, IF you already own a 9.5+ CFM compressor, and a good spray set-up, It IS more cost-effective to just buy a quart of the Weldwood Landau glue product and go that route… and no, I do not work for 3M. 👍🏼

      Hello Uncle, Thank you for your contribution. I just have to say something about you saying I am misleading people. I was basically talking about the most common "77" spray products. The quality is no secret. For 43 years as an upholstery shop, I have only used what I know. Contact adhesive by spray gun or if by brush if need be. I have never had to use 38808, so I have no experience with it. That's why I'm Old School. I only use what I can guarantee myself, happy customers. Like I always say, there is always more than one way of getting things done. Love you brother. Please keep liking and watching!
