I want to glue on my sail panel vinyl but I've been warned to give the paint plenty of time to gas off. It's been about six weeks now. Is that long enough?

I would think so, but yes ask. Also make sure the glue has fully flashed or you risk bubbles.

@Mikey914 Can you explain what you mean by fully flashed?

The biggest mistake that people make when using contact cement is not letting it dry first. It's better to let it dry 2-3x as long as directions than too short. Also, the second coat will reactivate the first coat so again, let it dry. You usually need at least two coats on fabric.

should be fine now, but when you do it put a light dry coat on first and use the 3m product
