    I saw where some people are using Sabaspray FR AV. This is a heat activated glue used to cover dashes and trim. I have looked all over the inter web and can’t find anybody selling it in the U.S. I did find someone in the U.K. but it doesn’t look like the deliver to the U.S.
    Does anybody know where I can buy this or does anybody know of a alternative heat activated polyurethane adhesive that is similar?
    Thanks to you all.

    There’s a product line sold from a company called simalpha... I have used there water based products with good results..... it has a activator to speed up adhesion if needed ....because cold weather can slow drying times.... they are here in the U.S....... hopefully this helps

    Thanks for the responses guys. Jens, I have called Saba North American and I’m still waiting for a response if they can bring it into the states. It being solvent based makes it difficult. Even then it might not be worth the cost. Don, I called Simalpha and I might be giving them a try. I called them as well and they claimed that it might be a problem if you glue to a PVC substrate. The other problem is you can’t buy it in small amounts and I’m not spending over $200 to give it a try. At least not just yet. I have another company sending me a 8oz sample and I’m calling a few more. I’ll update my findings soon. Thanks again for all your help.
