door pad recovering

[Patronus]

Im looking for some help with an adhesive for some interior cloth. I had hoped to use it to re-skin my upper door pads but I can't find an adhesive that doesn't soak into the cloth and become useless. I've had success with replacing the foam using leftover headliner adhesive but it just soaks in..?

Try a test cover some where using 3M spray adhesive.

The 3m spray adhesive is what the upholstery shop generally uses at the place where I work.  I'm not sure if there are different grades or versions of it but I know thats what they prefer.

Contact cement, brush or roll it on.

I would lightly spray both surfaces and use some wax paper between them to accurately position the material and pull the wax paper out a bit at a time while smoothing the material in place. My concern with rolling adhesive on would be soak through.

I've known a saddle and tack maker who used contact cement. I also apply laminets sometimes.. I'd think just to glue the edges setting one side, and then pulling tight and set the other..? I will try a test with the brush. Thanks for the thoughts.
