Right, foam to glass and epoxy. The reason I questioned the contact cement is that I have have not had good results in the past. The instructions mentioned the two coat method and then again here. I have not tried this method but will give it a try, thanks.
The main reason I questioned it in the first place is that I followed recomendations intalling velcro for a Thermorest seat pad. The Epoxy+wood powder and cement didn't last. When I used S3 epoxy and West mircofibers on both pieces of velcro I had great results and can rip out the seat with out worrying about lifting the velcro... Thanks again, Rick
