Targa Vinyl adhesive recommendations Options

[draganc]

Hi folks!

I’m looking for targa vinyl adhesive recommendations and
what products to stay away,

I read Eric’s installation summary (thanks a bunch!!) but
besides 3M didn’t find any specific p/n for 3M or other
good adhesives.

Who has used what and with what kind of experience?
Car is fresh painted (about 3 months old) and I really don’t
want to fudged it up with some “budget/mainstream” FLAPS
stuff.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting approach about the double sided tape!
Do you have a p/n or description of it?

I don’t know if it’s my phone, but your picture looks
like that there are “lines” showing.

In what pattern did you apply the tape for in between
the edges?

Cheers!

i used 3M 9088 Double Sided High Performance Clear Tape. Its 0.1mm thick and so invisible. I DID NOT use VMB foam tape which is incredibly sticky but also 1mm thick. I put tape around the perimeter of the panel initially and then "wrapped" the edges onto tape there. The vinyl stretched slightly as I formed it over the panel and stayed in position well once onto the tape. I guess you could add more rows of tape but my upholsterer friend suggested what I did. Time will tell..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

wysri9. Thanks for the info. Sounds like the tape might be a great alternative to the spray.
