Upholstering the dash...
Getting ready to upholster the dash in my 289FIA. I'd done it once before, but there are some very minor spots I'd like to corrrect (I'm being totally anal about my build...). Most importantly, I'm concerned that the adhesive I used is going to come loose on a hot, hot day and I'm going to have sagging upholstery hanging down off the bottom of my dash. 
I'm using UV protected "simulated leather" to keep the impact of sitting in the Sun at a minimum, so I'm good there.
My question is on the glue. I had used some spray on glue last time, but it's adhesive qualities have me concerned about lifted edges. I purchased a "hot glue" gun with the intent to use it, and I think it will work but wanted to see what everyone else is using. (The hot glue gun glue is good to 140 F, which should be sufficient for sitting in the bright Sun.).
What glue has everyone else used to attach their upholstery to their aluminum (or other metal) dashboards?
