Editing Contact adhesive

Contact adhesives are adhesives that are generally applied to both surfaces to be glued, and allowed to dry a little before adhering together. Contact adhesives are common in automotive interior work.

==Spray guns==
Professional interior work typically necessitates the use of a spray grade adhesive, applied with a spray gun and air compressor. You may need a 1.7-2.2 mm nozzle. One inexpensive example is this [http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=43760 $20 paint spray gun], available from [[Harbor Freight]].

==All-purpose glues==
Many common all-purpose glues may not be the best choice for interior automotive work. Such glues may expand, bubble, and foam.

However, certain products are engineered for automotive work, and are recommended.
