Tolex glue

davros

I want to tolex a pedalboard/case build and am looking for glue. I've tolexed cabs really successfully in the past with evostik impact solvent free, but it appears it has been discontinued. It was really easy to use and has held up really well on builds from years ago, so a shame it's not available.

What do you recommend?

I think something like this is what @Modulus_Amps would recommend?

Thanks! Looks very similar to the impact stuff. Shame the shipping is the same cost as the glue!

Yeah, unfortunately based on my location that’s become quite the norm.

I believe the idea is to apply this stuff to both surfaces, let it dry out and re activate with heat before applying. I was gonna give it a go but my lack of skill set and time means I won’t be attempting it myself.

Evo Stik 613 is my preferred adhesive for this type of application. In fact, it’s what the RAF use on everything trim related for their aircraft so it’s got good rep.

Thanks chaps. I'll investigate.
