3-M CO. 38808 3M(TM) HEADLINER

I can't use it. Tried it on a patch of cloth in the car and it looks awful!

Adhesive worked - mixing balls should be louder

Bought a can of 3M Headliner & Fabric Adhesive to replace the material peeling off the A, B, and C pillars in my e46 BMW (they all do this eventually). I went with a slightly heavier tweed fabric that turned out to be a stunning upgrade. This adhesive sprays the perfect amount from 8-10" from the surface. Mega tacky after 15-20 seconds but still allows you to reposition without damaging the fabric if you don't get it lined up just right the first time. Once it dries, it is ON THERE, with serious sticking power. Did not bleed through the fabric and the parts turned out like a factory job.

While redoing the headliner on my pickup truck, we ended up buying this fabric adhesive knowing full well it was probably going to be a one-time-use type of purchase. Because of that, the price initially felt a little higher than I wanted to spend for a single project. But now that several months have passed since using it, I can honestly say the effectiveness and durability of this product have absolutely justified the cost. First off, this stuff is strong. And I mean strong both in adhesion and in smell. The odor is very intense during application, so definitely make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated area before using it. Open doors, use fans, whatever you need to do, because this is not something you want to breathe in heavily while working. That being said, the actual application process was smoother than I expected. Once we sprayed it onto the fabric and attached the material to the truck headliner, it bonded really well. Months later, everything is still holding strong, and the durability has honestly impressed me quite a bit. One thing I learned during this whole process is that when you tackle a project like replacing a vehicle headliner for the first time, you suddenly realize there are all these specialty products out there that exist specifically to help with certain steps of the job. Since I had never done this before, I was definitely skeptical when people kept telling me I needed a dedicated fabric adhesive for it. I had honestly never even heard of products like this before starting the project. But looking back now, I completely understand why it was necessary. The end result looks fantastic. My truck interior looks significantly better with the new fabric installed, and everything about the finished project just feels cleaner and more professional overall. So while the upfront cost felt a little steep for something I may only use once, the actual results absolutely delivered for me.

This stuff is fabulous! Bought it for one project and now using it on another one too. The adhesive is strong. In the beginning it is moveable if you need to before clamping it. Have a damp rag next to you incase there is over spray. Its easy to clean up when its still wet.
