David,
I did a lot of running around when I was investigating sound proofing
my-still-in-build-mode MGB GT V8. What I found was a few manufacturers who
had special glues for the auto trade - They did not sell (much) to the
public retail shops. I took the name off a can used at a local auto
upholstery shop and phoned them. They said '"sorry, we do not have a
retailer near you" sooooo they sent me a 'sample' can of which I still
have 99%! - even paid mailing - It was great!
