any recommendations for adhesive/contact cement?

[rbridges]

While inspecting my plane, I removed a few interior panels.  It looks like carpet with a firm plastic backer.  They are held together with an adhesive, but since it's been 18 years since the interior was installed, the adhesive failed in a few places.  I'd like to reglue these areas.  Is there anything I can get from Lowe's?

I use a spray can contact adhesive with excellent results. From the auto parts store, I think. Don't recall the brand.

cool.  I didn't know if there were any flammability concerns with the adhesives.

Most of the flammability is associated with the solvents.  In most cases the once the solvent evaporates the adhesive shouldn't be very flammable.

Flammability concerns really aren't that great because the flammable compounds evaporate during the drying process.

For large areas where decent (but not great) adhesion is required, standard contact cement available at Lowes works well, as does the 3M spray adhesive available there or at automotive stores.

For smaller areas where you need better adhesion, use the 3M super weatherstrip adhesive available at automotive stores.  It is available in a tube.

For larger areas where you need very strong adhesion, you should use 3M 1300L, available in larger cans.

3M carpet or headliner cement, comes in a black spray can. $8 at Lowes/Home Depot/Auto Zone

3m 8001 is used in many areas.  This the yellow adhesive and can be found at most autoparts stores.

CRC Spray Adhesive works well
