Wood Trim Fix

I've found Gorilla Glue to work great in gluing the wood veneer back to the aluminum form it is (supposed to be) attached to. It has worked great on the door panel and glove box trim pieces because I was able to completely disassemble those and do it on the bench (actually used those little black binder clips from the office as clamps). This was fortuitous because as I did so, the glue on most of the little wood blocks was giving up and the things were starting to give way at all glue points. I was able to "rebuild" the entire assy. - they should outlast me now.

If you're talking about the dash strips, I'm going to tackle one using a spreader clamp. Unless you're a masochist and want to take apart the dash, that's probably the way to go.

Gorilla is easier to work with than epoxy - be mindful that it expands BUT, not to worry, the expanded material trims right off easily after it is dry.
