Good afternoon,

I am looking to recover my door panels/cards.
I have the material from 914 Rubber to do so.

Searched the forums but didn't come up with anything.

Looking at the doors currently they appear to have the vinyl affixed via 3mm or 1/8" very thin staples.

So my Arrow T50 stapler is out as it will not shoot 1/8" staples.
I read that a series 71 stapler may work but I also cannot find one of those that works with less then 1/4" or 6mm staples.

What is everyone using to affix their new vinyl on their door panels?

Good news: there will be a video soon on how to do the interior. Much of it is actually in this video. https://youtu.be/CkRTX61Oyro?si=cWrjWgjlP6mperXt
This is the glue https://www.amazon.com/Dap-Weldwood-Contact...t/dp/B004IH3HAQ and you can use a pot gun from Harbor Freight like this https://youtu.be/l35h-T856d4?si=W6eUuUuoEBd2YH9f
