p.mole1 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The lining inside my doors has come unstuck, has anyone had any success repairing these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 8, 2019 Member Share Posted August 8, 2019 Haven't had that, but if you can get a good fit it would be worth making some clamps and trying a contact adhesive.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair B Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I have the same problem, have bought some upholstery contact spray adhesive and I am working out how to do the job. Should I use a razor blade and cut down one side and spray, leave to air dry with some kind of 'props' then join back together carefully. It is the making good the edge of the cut that will probably be the hard bit and the measure of a how good a job you have done. Interesting to see how others have done it.

TomB Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I’ve had this, and wondered about spray contact adhesive, squirted in with a nozzle behind the fabric via a small incision in the the fabric. The fabric pressed down. But I’ve never got round to doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGO7 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Did it a while ago using a spray adhesive. To secure while adhesive sets lay door on floor, o/s down, wooden blocks to stabilise cover internal face with vis queen/ plastic sheet and then fill door cavity with sand top wth ply sheet and bricks to weigh down lining so that it bonds evenly to door.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 9, 2019 Member Share Posted August 9, 2019 ... and then fill door cavity with sand top wth ply sheet and bricks to weigh down lining so that it bonds evenly to door.That's clever. I was just thinking about how to apply a nice compliant forceful load and got to bags with water or air but hadn't thought of sand.... Should I use a razor blade and cut down one side... a small incision in the the fabric.If you have to make a cut in a visible area you can hide it with piping or some other additional piece of trim.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks, the sand is a good idea, how did you apply the adhesive? Did you cut open the trim? My plan was to cut open the trim at the end of the door on the half round section, spray in contact adhesive, let it go tacky then re-stick the trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGO7 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Used a spray adhesive (can't remember name - but check somewhere like Screwfix who will have several available). I cut the trim open, a few small slits (c2" long) to spray in the glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks I have some spray adhesive and have managed fix some small bore piping onto the nozzle so I may get away with a few small 2mm holes although it may prove a bit difficult to apply the glue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
