The best. Not cheap.

Not cheap but considering what it would cost to have it done twice it is worth it. We put the headliner in our 63 Bel Air and got the last known bark pattern material which is what the car came with. We were having issues with it, so we brought it to somebody. They used a green adhesive that bleed through wherever it was used. Ruined. Wound up having to buy a new one in a basket weave pattern which isn't correct. Should of brought it to Ogden.

Green glue? I sell all sorts of upholstery glue at my business and have never seen anything like that. There is a red glue but that is used for a very specific purpose. Trying to figure out what the heck glue would be used that is green.

He did a lot of boat stuff so maybe it was some type for wet environments? No idea.
