Dashboard foam
What's the best foam to pad the dash and interior panels behind vinyl or lethearette.
Also what adhesive would you use to bond the foam to ally or card panels?

I used some underlay stuff I had left over from laying a laminate floor
Seems to work ok. I didnt fix it all over but just tacked it near the edge with some clear silicone .folded the material over then tacked the back with a staple gun. |

I used a couple of camping mats to pad my dash.
For the interior panels I glued scrim foam (foam with a thin fabric backing) to the back of the vinyl using a can of spray contact adhesive. |

I'll second the camping mat. 3 quid from morrisons and also used spray adhesive on the mdf and laid the foam over..not forgetting to roll the foam over the bottom edge and fix to rear to eliminate the need for a radius as it will be a soft edge.
Remember not to glue the leatherette on the front surface or it will cause problems, just stretch and staple to the the back of the dash |
