Got the new glue gun today - Merit pro - it works awesome! I was getting really frustrated with that other gun, kept thinking it was the weather since it was a little cool. This one makes it effortless. Thanks everyone for all your suggestions.

Thank you. I kept thinking that it couldn't be the glue since the can was so new and I've almost gone through the whole can, but the further I progressed, the more issues I had with it. I did take the air inlet plug off my gun just to double check that - even though no glue ever goes through there - I just wanted to be sure everything was good. That part of the gun is made of pot metal and a little chunk fell out and lodged in my finger. So even though I have never dropped the thing, somehow that little piece cracked off and that has to be the bulk of my issue. I am going to order this gun https://www.yourautotrim.com/aespradspgun.html - I just don't have good luck with anything HF and I would rather spend a little extra then have to buy something multiple times. Even though this makes the 5th glue gun I've bought in two years!

I never mix du grip and contact cement. They are two very different glues. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Hopefully a new gun solves my problems. Very frustrating as I've wasted more time trying to get the thing to work than I want to admit to

Depends on what I'm looking for, but I mainly use Albright's Supply, DLT, Charlotte Fabrics, & Rochford

Does that gun work well with the weldwood? I may have to switch to DLT's litebond, I'm tired of wasting so much time with glue guns not working

I buy the Weldwood by the gallon, I have had this particular gallon a month. If I do switch to du grip, I clean the gun first. I was having such issues with the gun today, that I cleaned it and tried the du-grip just to see if it worked. It did. Then I cleaned it again and switched back to the weldwood and again, it wouldn't work. The strange thing is I have been using this almost daily for the last several weeks and it's been functioning ok, I would have to stop and clean it every once in a while, but the last few days its just not working. And of course, I am on a deadline, trying to wrap some plastic trim for an airplane. I have the air pressure knob on my gun too and I have tried adjusting it to no avail.

I'm pretty sure I've got gremlins. I'm always up past midnight working in my shop - the little buggers must have snuck some of my sunflower seeds.

My air pressure is set at 90, the vent is open, the cap and nozzle are clear. Still won't come out, occasionally I'll get a glop of glue, but thats it. I've adjusted it a million different ways to Sunday - still not working. The lighter du-grip glue comes out just fine. Not the weldwood.

I recently redid some Piper seats that had that. I peeled off what hadn't rotted off and cleaned up the frames. Then I installed seat springs and FAA certified canvas and reglued them. That made a nice base for the seat foam and they no longer 'bottomed out' when they sit down. You can find what you need from Skandia

I'm about two hours from Greeley. I'm right on the colorado/nebraska border.

Thank you. This plane resides at a small airport but they insist on having all FAA certification and documentation on everything I put in the plane. I called Skandia last week, and they answered some of my questions and were very helpful. I might have to give them a call again as originally the client only wanted the seats done. Now they want the full interior.

Nice job! I wish I could get my farmers to do something a little adventurous and one off occasionally.

Thanks for doing this! I admit I haven't been around the forum much lately. I will use it more now that its industry private and mobile friendly!
