Hi
I bought lining material at vanfest last year and 10 months later got around to fixing it
Looks great (can send pics)
You need to use hi temp spray glue
normal stuff will cause the lining to droop and sag
not sure what temp i can check if you need me to

I did it on my own and just made it up as I went along

buy a sharp stanley
:shock:

Time is money we all go to work to earn a living!!!! Lining is a job you can do yourself with the right kit but it is time consuming and material costs add up ( lining carpet, insulation, correct adhesive, plywood)

Stick roof on with tiger seal we do, automotive spray shop suppliers stock it.
