Regluing Black Tolex, anyone?

8/29/1999 2:55 AM
Steve A.	Regluing Black Tolex, anyone? Any recommendations for regluing black tolex that has peeled off? (I'd used old rubber cement for a temporary fix before and a black Sharpie© marker works great for touching up tears!) Plain old contact cement? Apply it to both surfaces and let it dry a bit? I get nervous using that stuff because if you start off crooked you can't just slide it over a bit... Thanks! Steve Ahola
