[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 233424, member: 6657"] I'm here KK. The 88 adhesive is a little tricky. I wait for it to dry enough so that when I touch it with my finger it is still sticky/tacky but it doesn't stick to my finger (my finger comes away clean and not with a gob of glue on it). The 88 bond isn't immediate, as a matter of fact it takes about 3 or 4 days to cure to a strong bond, longer than that if the temps are cool. I'm thinking your vinyl would've been ok had you let it cure. Are you using the carpet roller to press the vinyl into the glue? Rolling your pieces once a day until the 88 cures will keep air bubbles from forming as well. How are you doing your edges and the fold around to the back? [/QUOTE]
