Contact adhesives do exactly what they say glue on contact.

applying the adhesive thinly to the two surfaces...then allowing to dry

push together the surfaces firmly....no jiggling around there mate sorry :wink:

open time adhesives are either epoxy resins, pva and evaporation glues. I'm sure

Maybe it should.

The newest generation of contact adhesives have the option of delayed contact reaction or open time, giving some sliding around possibilities.
For the real answers of course you should ask Kev, he seems to be the expert :lol:
On the other hand, if my advice, backed up by a Doctorate in Chemistry and 25 years in the adhesives business carry any weight, then maybe I might have said something which will help the more intelligent posters on here do a better job of bonding their interior trim.

The words Bother do i why could be arranged in a well known phrase :wink:

Technology develops sometimes and the last bit of web info you read isn't always state of the art.
Sometimes things aren't always as black and white as "right "or "wrong " when it comes to technical comparisons.

Doesn't really matter does it, we are only sticking bits of tacky looking carpet up in 20 year old rust buckets after all. Not like we are bonding aircarft together.
