Ied use contact adhesive to glue it down. Spray glue is crap.

Its about 50 quid per linear meter, which will be fookin expensive for a boot build, use vinyl or paint it instead.

Spray glue is conact adhesive, and its fine if you follow the instructions properly and dont just squirt the glue and stick the two halves together.
