Default Re: Refixing Rexine to Tape Recorder Wooden Case Recommendations Please

Evostik will hold the rexine for many years.
Clean with petrol or Evostik Solvent.
Use a stiff brush to apply the adhesive small brush for small areas, larger for larger areas etc.
A local musician still uses and has never had to re cover the speakers I manufactured for him back in 1973. The rexine was aplied with Evostik Thixofix as it allows for a small amount of movement when setting but has the same adhesive properties as standard Evostik.
Many cabinets that were covered using PVA have had to be re covered after only a short time out on the road with various bands. As soon as they get damp, the adhesive 'lets go'.
Evostik spray is the prefered adhesive for carpet repairs and carpet fitting.
