I need to glue a section of dash padding back down that's come apart and sticking up. I've been told by someone that works in a trim shop (not local to me though) that the best thing for this for strength and heat resistance is DAP Weldwood Contact Adhesive - Landau Top & Trim - HHR (High Heat Resistant):

But according to that page, the smallest size it comes in is a box of four 1 gallon containers. And I can't find any local shops that use it to sell me a small amount of theirs.
This page shows just a 1 gallon, but I'm not sure if you can just buy just one. Also don't know how you can have it shipped (might cost a lot):

DAP also makes Weldwood Contact Cement (not High Heat), in several sizes, under both Contact Cements and Specialty Adhesives here:

As well as a Weldwood High Strength Spray Adhesive (also on the Specialty Adhesives page).
But I dont guess any of those would hold up in the summer heat in the south?

As far as 3M, these are the only ones that I found that are heat resistant:
3M Scotch-Grip Industrial Adhesive 4799:

3M Scotch-Grip Rubber And Gasket Adhesive 1300:

3M Fastbond Contact Adhesive 2000NF:

Or what about Gorilla Glue?

I only need a small amount, preferably a pint/quart or spray can. Though I might buy a gallon if it weren't expensive.
 
You could check out McMaster.com, they have weldwood stuff but I don't know if it's the exact formula you're looking for. But yep, google search doesn't show a whole lot, one guy said he bought HHR from a local upholstrey place for $7/gal.

No, McMaster doesn't have the high heat stuff.

Does anyone know anything about any of those 3M heat resistant glues I listed? Or any other brand?
 
Does anyone know if any of the three 3M heat resistant glues I listed would work (and which is best), or any other brands?
