But, yes correct. Just the trim.


Hi Derek, planenut
It was '151 brand high strength spray glue' for <£4 from Yorkshire trader.
(It's called high strength - but depends on application method - can be low)

I was wary in case it was (1) too aggressive or (2) didn't give me enough time to work it or (3) reacted with or soaked through the cloth.

But it was fine and very easy to work with. I should have used more and got it further back to the edges.

Long term - I don't know if the chemicals might react

If anyone can advise how to get the chrome trims off without braking the lugs I'd be grateful!



Interesting. Maybe temperature swings upset things or pre-project drive glue and foam was better. I wasn't sure if it were cleaning products that reacted but there seemed quite a few thread here recently on sagging linings.
??

Cheers all.
A
Many thanks Alan.
