Default HELP: Gluing Foam-backed Vinyl Headliner to Plywood

Hi,
Upholstery suppliers can sell you spray on impact adhesive made
specifically for the job. You need good ventilation if working in a
confined space - fumes are really evil! This seems to hold well on
ply, and is by many builders to stick directly to GRP. Stapling the
material around the back of the ply is still a good plan to stop the
edges peeling, if your plan allows this. Masking against overspray is
also a good idea - it's designed to stick! I used this stuff to stick
first 1/4" foam, then vinyl, all round the forecabin of a yacht - 15
years later it's still there!

Have fun,

David.

Could someone advise me of an adhesive to attach a foam-backed Vinyl
Headliner to a plywood sheet? I am looking for something that is easy to
apply (spray can?) but at the same time does not damage the foam through
some kind of chemical inter-action.

Thanks in advance
