Hey folks,

the mini-cab project is about to begin finally. The snakeskin Tolex arrived last week. Any hints, tips for tolexing? Whats the best type of adhesive to use?

I hope you've got some funky piping in mind!!

Not that i have much experience in this area, but I would have thought a spray adhesive would be best. I assume you'll also be fitting protective corners (useful for covering up a multitude of sins!!!):eek:

With difficulty... just make sure it's tight lad. There's a guide on the internet somewhere. Google is your very helpful friend
