[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 262483, member: 6657"] Just remember, [b]2 coats of contact cement on the vinyl[/b]. I'm pretty sure that was Kofkorns problem with the contact cement, only one coat of CC won't work because the vinyl backing absorbs it. You should also scuff your aluminum up with a wire brush in a grinder or even a Scotchbrite pad and soap and water before applying adhesive so it'll have something to grip. Adhesives don't like to stick to slick shiny surfaces. [/QUOTE]
