I want to recover a guitar amp. I purchased the original manufacturers material, vinyl-like, textured. What's the best way to glue this to the amp? I will strip the old fabric and this will leave bare wood. The original covering is still there and has lasted over 44 years, so it was glued on pretty good. I was going to use spray adhesive but was wondering if this will last...

Thanks for your help, Brian

I've used the 3M 90 spray adhesive in similar projects. Excellent strength. Also the 77, don't think its quite as strong a bond. Both are available at Hardware and Home Centers.

You can see all the 3m stuff commonly available here.
