  • weldwood glue in uk
    not been on here for very long time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mainly as it kept crashing on me and i just couldn't work it out so gave up !!!!!!!!!!!! clicked on it today by accident and all seems back to normal . anyway it never got its feet off the ground after trying everything i could so its just never going to happen . im still getting it in illegally but thats another story and just for me .................. so sorry guys n gals
  • Glue Preferences
    tried getting that 3m but they dont do big tins in uk and its about £60 for 1ltr
  • weldwood glue in uk
    im all ears ......................had many reps from glue company's give me confidence in there products but still none have come close as of yet . so what are you using ???? i get so many inquiries from Ferrari , maserati and jag owners with headlining and dashboard fails on cars that are not that old at all
  • weldwood glue in uk
    when i used to watch gabe all those years ago when he was doing boyd coddingtons work i couldnt get my head round how i was getting away with doing the kind of work he was doing !!!!!!!!until i met him and asked about it so since then ive been wanting it and since ive been using it i wont use anything else .
    i still dont understand why none of our suppliers are not interested in supplying it
  • weldwood glue in uk
    appreciate it fred ............... should be easy but takes up too much time !!!!!!

    hey keith who are you buying it from as boyriven want £100 a tin i think ??
    it might be strong but i find you cant lift it off and on and off again like you can with weldwwod untill your happy then use heat for it to stick properly ! i find the alpha doesnt give you a chance to do that without damage . also 5 gallons of alpha is almost twice the price of a 5 gallon tin of weldwood
  • weldwood glue in uk
    it was all looking positive and the only way of doing it was buy me purchasing £10k worth of glue !!!!!!!!!! i was going to take that gamble but at the end of it all they wouldn't do it because it was flammable , so yet again if i want to by drugs , passports , guns , explosives or traffic people it doesn't seem to be a problem but a legitimate company wanting to buy products to make there business run is a big NO NO .

    so looks like ive got to lie to my customers and tell them that there headlining wont fall down knowing that it will because im using uk glue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i tried
  • Headliner Adhisive
    if it happens it will be 5 gallon tins as only other size is 1ltr !! are you using just a normal spray gun or pressure pot ? one of the best things ive done is moving to pressure pot !!!!!!!!!!! once your set up there is no way you will go back
  • Headliner Adhisive
    for some reason i cant start a new thread so ill use this for now ............... anyway i might have sorted a deal to distribute weldwood in the uk !!!!!!!!!! i know you all will want prices but not got to that point yet so just need to know if there will be enough demand in the uk .

    let me know if your interested cheers chris
  • Jell seats
    i remove more than i fit !!!!!!!!!!!!! might be comfy but after time they brake up and as the density is different to the rest of the foam it ends up showing through the cover even with a scrim topper
  • Warm Wishes to All
    respect to ya fred on your knowledge and helpful information ............merry xmas
  • william marstons UK
    sorted now cheers bud ..........was after there sandstone brinylon
  • william marstons UK
    thats why i didnt want to bad mouth them but its very frustrating as ive been ringing every day multiple times with no answer and no reply on emails either
  • Speaker grills
    to be honest years ago when i did alot of hot hatch car audio and stealth shelfs i kept all the grills as no one wanted them , some use those and spray with fake chrome or colour code them to the leather .
    i have a contact in uk that does the smart parts stuff but its twice the price !!!!

  • Suspended headliners
    if you dont have the old headliner for the type 2 id just buy a new replacement one which will be more cost effective from west coast metric or vw heritage , as for the 103e pop i have template for that and sell kits
  • Where are shops finding talent?
    ive been trading for 27 years and over that period ive employed 9 different people that all have experience !!!!!!!!!!! not many lasted long , one guy had more years under his belt , more tools than me and he lasted 3 weeks !!!!!!!! his work was shocking . not that many young guys getting in to but at least in the states you are doing these custom courses but nothing in the uk like that so it will only be self taught guys n gals
  • Where are shops finding talent?
