Instead of a complicated spray gun for contact cement check out the Critter Spray Product Siphon Gun. It's super simple but works good for a DIYer on smaller projects. I've used it on upholstery like your headliner and it works great. For laminates I've found that a large putty knife 5-6" works good at keeping the cement thin but evenly distributed.
For sure I like doing airbrush so I got a sprayer and I have calipers. I bought all my tools at harbour freight. I want to watch your videos on how you use the sprayer for your materials.
Thanks for posting this and your other upholstery videos. I’m still building the hard metal parts of my van, but your videos have given me a bit of a roadmap to when I get to the soft parts… Thanks again. Quick question, what PSI did you through to the gun? Any filters?
@@scottadamson6116 by the way, I also sent you a message on Facebook Messenger. I don't think you check it often so I'll give you a heads up here. I came across a couple of broken images in the guide. Seeya
Good video as usual. FYI that's a digital caliper, not a vernier caliper. Calipers (generic) can have a vernier scale ($), dial scale ($$-$$$) or digital scale ($-$$$). A vernier scale looks like two rules edge to edge. According to Wikipedia : "A vernier scale is a visual aid to take an accurate measurement reading between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation; thereby increasing resolution and reducing measurement uncertainty by using vernier acuity to reduce human estimation error." As a machinist it always bugs me when people get this wrong.
@@edwardthomas7022 buy good quality and it lasts a life time, absolutely nothing wrong with a Vernier scale if you know how to use it. My micrometers have a Vernier scale, but my Mittutoyo calipers are dial scale. Most people are only familiar with the cheap plastic vernier calipers that they use in schools (my wife is a science teacher)
@@edwardthomas7022 That is an issue with digital calipers (I always keep two spares in the case), but it's nice to be able to swith between mm and inch, and to be able to zero out on a measurement and do tolerance checks. But if you know how to read vernier scales they're fine, seems like a lot of people forget how to read them though.
Could you share the exact name of the tweed fabric you used to upholster the foam blocks? I'm in Canada as well and would like to order the same. Thanks for the video!
Hey Dominic! Sorry I missed this comment! So I bought mine from jackson.ca but they don't really sell to the general public. This place seems to sell to the public: www.nationalupholsterysupply.com/dmx001.html The fabric I use is Duramax Tweed and the color is 'Steele'
This is cool. 🚐 You’re talking about the kinds of things others barely touch on.
Thanks glad you are enjoying the videos.

You got featured on trending
Thanks, Scott. These are always helpful.
Glad you like them!

Hi Scott. enjoy your visit video was very informational. What was the name of the glue that you use to laminate?
I get it from Jackson.ca
Great video once again. Really love your upholstery work. Are you planning on doing a video on that at any point?
Possibly! I do have one video on how I did the ceiling panels

Do you have a video on making your headliner?

I've had my vernier caliper (Mitutoyo) since '78, semi-tired field press tech. Still gets lots of use.

@@paulandrews7573 I actually prefer the Vernier. I have a digital angle gauge that eats batteries ...

Hey Scott, curious to know the specs of your spray gun and compressor? What cfm is your gun? Much appreciated!!
great information . how long does it take to edit each video?
A lot...haha 5-6 hours

@@scottadamson6116 Thanks Scott. I don't think that's in Canada but I appreciate the reply!
