In Response To: How'd You Adhere the Lycra? (Gini L.)

Hi Gini;

I used 3M 77 spray contact adhesive. First, I sprayed the fabric. Then, I did the seat in small areas starting with the depressions. The job took about 15-20 mins end-to-end as I recall, but be sure to have two people so one can managage the cloth and keep it from sticking to itself, while you stretch and apply the cloth working out any would-be wrinkles. I doubt I could have succeeded without my wife's pair of hands!

Good Luck, Spidey
