[Healeys] Upholstery Glue

[Peter Ryner]

I've had the same problem.  I'm currently working on putting vinyl on the 
ceiling of my camper.  I tried several products, none seemed to work.  A few 
weeks ago I was at a  place that did major renovations on the large motor 
homes.  I asked what they used and they told me the 3M #80.  I tried it 
using one coat and it didn't work at all.  Then I added second coat and it 
worked perfectly.  You have to apply a coat, wait at least 5 minutes, apply 
the second coat, wait at least another five minutes then press the pieces 
together.  I found the stuff at HD.  Lowes only carried the #77 and the #90.
