Headliner

Hi all,
Any suggestions for securing the headliner? The glue they used is not conducive for the heat in Florida. I have tried two sided tape to no success.

Thanks much

I had the same problem on my last boat. The adhesive on velcro is weaker than the velcro. Try affixing weaker Velcro to both materials (hull and headliner) with stronger glue. Any epoxy, or my favorite was 3M marine clear silicon sealer. It’s an excellent adhesive that won’t weaken in the heat.

This is the glue we use > 3M 1300L TF High Performance Neoprene Adhesive.
Heat resistance and will perform up to up to 300°F/148°C

Thanks much, I ended up using one inch 3m scotchmate Velcro from spruce. Seems to be holding, I believe marine grade adhesive

This was a huge problem for me.

James Spearman in Gatlinburg at KGKT who is the ultimate DA40 guy fixed it with some crazy tape.

He seems the be the king of figuring out weird Diamond problems .... e.g. Cool LVL
