I need to re glue the leather to the foam on the rear seat of my 944. Its mainly just round the edges where its got wet and the glue has given up.
What do people use these days for upholstery. I guess it needs to be flexible and go off pretty quick. I was thinking contact adhesive but thought I'd check with the PH classics bunch as this seems to be all part of the fun with classics. For me at least.

I'm no good at upholstery I send it to retired friends that worked in Rolls Royce/Bentley, but when I do I use upholstery contact adhesive from http://www.martrim.co.uk.

It's like evostick but on steroids, it comes in a white tin. You have to keep the little clips that hold the lid on because the gasses it makes pop off the lid. It probably kills a penguin every time you use it??

Furniture Clinic and LTT Leather Care do decent leather glue.

Evostick - I've done a few bits with it - headliners etc ... very good.

I've also used Evostick to re-secure vinyl and leather trim; no problems at all and it's widely available (if you're old enough...)
