Nice!
You don't mention the glue. Painted on the back of the vinyl? What type? Let it dry first?

Re: Amplified Nation Tolex Tutorial
I like wilsonart H20 for glue. Water based, non toxic, cleans up with dish soap. I paint in on both surfaces and let it completely dry, then stick it!

Thanks Taylor!!!!!! you make it look so easy!
and just in time as I've been studying up on how to cover these cabinets I made. Hope you don't mind a few questions.
It looks like you:
1. don't use a heat gun? Does this change with other types of covering?
2. don't cut to accommodate the top panel cut out, just stretch through the curves? or did I miss something?
3. I'm on the west coast, can't seem to find the Wilson art H2O but Home depot had this water based contact cement. Are you familiar with it?
4. any tips for the back panel?
Thanks again!

Re: Amplified Nation Tolex Tutorial
Eric,
Have you used that Weldwood yet? It works, but not the best IMO. I've used it for a couple of cabs but it doesn't quite have the sticky factor that I want. I've used the stuff from Mojotone and it works a little better but they are inconsistent with quality. I got a lumpy batch last time. I can't get the H20 here either unfortunately.

Haven't used it yet. It is their water based formula. The VOC formula looks the same but the color is red instead of green.sonicmojo wrote:Eric,

Re: Amplified Nation Tolex Tutorial
I used the non-toxic green kind like you bought. FWIW, I won't use it again and try really hard to find that Wilsonart H20 next time.

Good tip, can't seem to find an online seller. Closest distributor is 22 miles,not bad.

Finally got around to watching. You make it look too easy Taylor- comes with having done a hundred or two probably. Thanks for posting!
Re: Amplified Nation Tolex Tutorial
I used the Weldwood too. I know what you mean by not seeming to have the "sticky factor" that a non-waterbased has, but the cabinet I used it on is now over a year old and nothing has started to come loose. I chalked it up to just the inherent issues with a waterbased adhesive. I did add some low heat to areas to get it to stick quicker. It seemed the "contact reaction" wasn't as quick. A little heat helped with this.sonicmojo wrote:Eric,
