I have a 1998 GMC that the center console vinyl is starting to bubble up. I was thinking of using a syringe and infect glue under it then push it down. What kind of glue should I use to do thi.
>>2940781>What kind of glueE6000. Use a hairdryer to heat the vinyl so you can reform/flatten it before you glue it down.
>>2940796Thanks, they have it at my local Menards. I'll post how good it worked.
>>2940804Cool beans. That stuff stays kinda rubbery when it cures so you won't have hard spots or lumps when you're done.
>>2940806PS, keep your windows down for 24 hours if possible. It stinks like a mofo.

VERY based thread, I learned something
>>2940796>E6000Me and grandma use this shit to glue lights into our ceramic trees so people can't steal them at the store that sells them for us, I've ended up using it for all sorts of shit over the years, lolI think I E6000'd one of the strips of door trim on my car, even.
I just got around to getting the glue today I'm gonna try it when I get home.
>>2940796>>2941245Alright heating it up made it look a lot better by itself but the glue is too thick to go through the syringe needle I either need to get a bigger syringe or try to cut it with something and thin it out
>>2941269Use a sharp, clean razor to make tiny slits close to where the vinyl starts to lift away. Inject the glue a little at a time and massage it towards the void. Then heat it all with a hairdryer again and clamp until it sets up. If you make clean, small cuts you won't notice, and the glue will seal the hole.You could also try warming up the glue to reduce its viscosity.
>>2941270I'm gonna try this weekend that way i can focus more time on it. I think I might heat the glue up first I'm scared to cut it.Thanks Brother
Use a cheapy meat injector like the one that comes with Tony's marinade
>>2941270You need an 18 gauge needle not those tiny 25 gauge insulin needles if you want to have any chance of pushing thick stuff through
>>2941321E6000 comes with applicator tips.
I may not even try to fly it just using the heat pretty much fixed it
>>2941391Looks good to me. If you're okay with it then mission complete.
>>2941397
if you have leftover glue, place a square of aluminum foil between the cap and threads of the tube before screwing down the cap. This will prevent the glue from curing inside the tube as opposed to just the plastic cap which allows the solvents to slowly escape.
>>2941485never new that Thanks
>>2941485Why aluminium foil? I do the same but with plastic wrap for silicone tubes with screw caps. Never used e6000 though
>>2941391the problem will return but w/e good jab
>>2940796Im eager to know how this works out for the OP. I also have a vintage automobile with some vinyl bubbling
>>2944161>>2944156I'm thinking of taking it apart and drilling a small hole on the other side through the plastic then injecting glue from the other side with a bigger needle i it happens again but right now just heating it hup and pushing it back down as fixed it
