Adhesive used for C1 vinyl top installation?

[Jill J.]

Hi there.

Is there a specific brand / type of adhesive that needs to be used when installing the pads, etc on a C1 vinyl top?
I read through the posts Rich Mozzetta put up on the site and also have the Al Knoch video.

When viewing the Al Knock video, they use a glue gun during the adhesive portion, which I purchased before seeing Rich's posts. Do you know what adhesive should be used in the glue gun? Not sure if it's a specific type / brand?

Thanks for your help.

rich is correct. weldwood is readily available, cheap, lasts me years(a 8 oz can) and is way stronger than the 3-M critters. mike
