Heck, let us know what you used to get the old stuff off!Can someone recommend a glue or contact adhesive to attach the hull liner fabric?
The old fabric was water stained and had mostly separated from the hull. The backing was dried out out and crumbling. I just pulled off the fabric and went over the old adhesive with an angle grinder with a 38 grit sanding blade.Heck, let us know what you used to get the old stuff off!

Rich,This is the fabric I bought-
http://www.garysupholstery.com/ntohull.html
It comes in 72" width and can cut it down the middle for most of the hull.
I figured about 10 yards

I used this fabric and adhesive on my 26. 9 yards did the whole thingCan someone recommend a glue or contact adhesive to attach the hull liner fabric?
They advised 1 can per yard, so I ordered 8 cans, figuring in waste. I had a little over a can left.That's a good price for that fabric.
I almost threw out the old fabric but changed my mind at the last minute. I'm glad I did.
How adhesive did you need?

Whats wrong with that!...But then i am an ex-(or is it latent) hippyThis is very helpful to me. I bought a 272 last winter, it should have been named "The Hippy Glider". It has faux finished wood grain over the interior frp, stars and moons on the headliner and table, shag carpet hull liner aft the companion way. I need to get at things behind and was planning to just rip it off and leave it as I only day sail. I would just take my lumps when I sell it. Most of the shag is gone from the aft cabin/storage locker.
How much time do you have invested in the project? I checked the link and the liner cost was not bad at all.
What is the adhesive like? Is it spray adhesive or something you trowel onto the hull? Consistency?They advised 1 can per yard, so I ordered 8 cans, figuring in waste. I had a little over a can left.

The website has a very good description, it is a spray, with a flat pattern spray which is also adjustable for width. It sprayed on very easily with little or no over spray. It was also, I thought, very low oder. I did however, have a box fan blowing in from the companionway, and one blowing out from the forward hatch.What is the adhesive like?
