jframe 150 Posted February 11 Redoing the console in my 65 with a new quarter sawn walnut kit. I have heard to use spray adhesive, Gorilla Glue (sparingly), and others. What have y'all used to glue these wood panels down with, and what's the best technique? I have the old wood on these pieces completely removed, and acetoned off all the old adhesive. The kit I have is strictly wood, no foil or metal backing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KongaMan 680 Posted February 11 3M spray adhesive will do the job. Mask everything before you spray. If you're anal, cover the front of the wood with low-tack tape to avoid the accidental glue smear while handling. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
39BuickEight 501 Posted February 11 Gorilla Glue is my new favorite thing. Applies fairly easy, cleans up off hands easy, gets somewhat tacky fairly quickly, and holds extremely well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demon452 35 Posted February 14 I am actually pretty Suprised you removed all the glue/adhesive with acetone. I tried acetone, mek etc.. The only way I could get it all completely removed was aircraft stripper and a razor blade. Anyhow I used 3M Super 77 . 3m makes multiple adhesives some are better than others. I spray both pieces until tacky then set the vieneer on. I used welding clamps and wood to get equal pressure everywhere. Method is on you, just make sure it is held in place somehow until dried.

RivNut 2,360 Posted February 14 When working with a contact adhesive you need to make sure that the first time the two coated surfaces touch that you're perfectly lined up where you want them. There's no adjustment. I've also heard of guys using sand bags, especially on uneven surfaces, to make sure that weight is evenly distributed.

Ed I actually used a couple full boxes of shotgun shells. Adapt and overcome lol. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RivNut 2,360 Posted February 14 If you really thought about it, a really thick big balloon filled with water would reach every nook an cranny and be level and heavy enough to hold the veneer down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
