IML: OT - Upholstery adhesive

["TomChoice" <tcsibor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may be a bit off topic, but I will be using the answers on my
Imperials :-)

In watching some television programs such as Overhauling and Rides, you
often see upholsterers (trimmers) using a paint type spray gun to apply
adhesive to either the upholstery material or the object to be upholstered
or both. I have a few questions on this.

Is the adhesive regular contact cement? Why does the spray gun not get
constantly plugged? How long can the adhesive be left in the gun cup without
drying out or clogging? What air pressure/nozzle/tip is required?

I know there are some trimmers on this group and I would sure welcome their
answers/advice.

Thank you
Tom
