Re: Material behind backseat of 41

A pound will do the entire trunk and glovebox with some left over. I cannot remember how much adhesive it took. I think I ordered a quart and also one small can but won't swear to it. I did the glove box first and then the cardboard seat back. Trunk sides and floor came much later.

I also used the small cardboard tube mini flocker applicator that came in the first kit I bought when making the modified 56 AC glovebox. I ordered the air gun for the trunk but it seemed to clog up easily. IMO, the cardboard tube works much better but downside is it does require several refills to do the trunk.

Depending on temperature, once you apply the adhesive there is not much wasting around time. Either do things in small sections if it is something where you can have distinct break lines or have things at the ready to do quick refills if doing one large area. You cannot stop in a flat area and start again without the break being noticed. Also make sure the adhesive covers the entire area evenly with no missed or dry spots. On trunk sides you might be able to touch up because they are fairly rough but on on the flat cardboard or smooth surfaces any misses or repair attempts will be seen.
