I am useing Evo Stick SERIOUS GLUE it is a solvent free contact adhesive, an as my wife is asthmatic, solvent free is a must. I will use this to put the copper tiles on the Victory, it is great to use, with a good 3 mins to position the job:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi everyone, This is day 4 of carpeting the DB5, the tunnel has now been trimmed. I have placed the gear lever in position (not fixed) just to give a reference point :- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Spencer,Scot and Sean, thanks for your comments. Yes Sean I did use the Jacket as my final choice, I will use the dolls house carpet for the head lining, and maybe the glove box and boot. Well we are still on day 4 and I did say it would take approx 1 week so I am on schedule. Here is a photo of the passenger well carpeted, please note it still has to be trimmed and and finished :- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Looking very neat Mike - good choice of glue, it doesn't seem to soak through the material at all Are you leaving it some curing time before applying the material, or is it going straight on to the fresh glue. I agree about some of the pointless mods as well, if it doesn't make it better - what's the point  Well spin my nipple-nuts & send me to AlaskaCurrent Builds:McLaren MP4-23Finished007's Aston Martin DB5FinishedMillennium FalconR2-D2BTTF Delorean (Maybe)

Hi Jerry, I apply the glue and fit the fabric straight onto the wet glue, I have approx 3 mins to adjust the fabic, within 2 hours it is set and a further 22 hours it is hard.There is no leaking through the fabric.
