 Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 5:10 pm Post subject: Headliner Material - foam backed or plain? |
 |
|
I'm looking for input, preferences, experience with headliner
material. It appears that the standard auto headliner is foam backed,
I can see plus's and minus's to this. What are people using or
considering and what sources have people found? I saw a Lancair interior
(at) Osh that appeared to have a wool looking woven tweed fabric that
looked really smart. here's a link to a pic i took of it.
http://deemsrv10.com/album/OSHKOSH%202006/slides/DSC03138.html How are
folks attaching it to the Cabin top, Glue? Type? Is anybody making a
'backing board' like some auto installs?
Another related question, is whether it is worth it to install the
headliner with the Cabin Cover off and upside down, or just how much
harder it is to do with it already mounted on the canopy. I'd rather
wait until it's final/hard mounted and any painting that will be done is
complete. and then put the headliner in.
Appreciate any input.

Deems,
I use 1/4" foam back auto type headliner attached using 3M 90 high temp
cement glue. It comes in 1/8" also. I attached after the cabin top was
installed. I'm quite happy with mine. Tim Olson used the same but didn't
like it if I remember correctly. He ended up ripping his out. He also
installed his prior to installing the cabin top. I think there are pluses
and minus either way.

Deems, the foam prevents bleedthrough of the adhesive and helps hide surface
imperfections. On foam backed headliner we use sprayable contact cement or
landau top glue(same)the foam really makes it idiot proof. On thinner
materials, I use 3m trim adhesive in thin lines overhead, and 3m super 77
aerosol sprayed thin on the peripheral. If the glue wicks into the material
it creates hard dark spots.....try miamicorp.com for materials, just drop me
an email if you need wholesale acct info. You can buy on mine and dropship
to yourself if you see what you need.
