Installing Racing Dynamics wood trim kit - best adhesive to use?

[K20RI_211]

Hey guys,

I picked up a nicely preserved Racing Dynamics wood trim kit recently. It applies the wood veneers to the area around the radio / OBC, behind the steering wheel and around the headlight controls as well as across the top of the glovebox.

I wondered what you'd recommend for a good adhesive that won't completely muck up the dashboard should I ever decide to remove them. Also, double-sided tape is going to be way too thick for this application, so it likely has to be a liquid of some kind, I'd guess....

Anyway, your suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

I know that hot glue peels off instantly with rubbing alcohol, so maybe find a similar thinner / non-hot glue and try putting rubbing alcohol on it after it's cured. If it peels off just as easily I'd go with it. Other than that I'd suggest looking back into 3m's thin double sided tape, the rolls that I've gotten from them are really thin.

I know in the Aircraft Industry we have some double sided tape that is basically just the thickness of the glue. I believe 3M makes it. Will try and find a manufacturer.

This is helpful - thanks. I looked at regular 3M double-sided today and it's just too thick.

That would be appreciated immensely! Thanks.

I recently purchase carbon fiber overlays for the steering wheel on my Mini Countryman.....it came w/ a very very thin double sided tape (just as thin as scotch tape), but SUPER strong. I wish there was a name on the backside of the tape, but if I remember correctly the side I peeled off was foil-like.

it looks similar to this....

I would suggest DAP weldwood, I use it to recover steering wheels, super strong but surprisingly comes off pretty easy when it gets on the center section of the wheel which is the same material as the dash.
