I am about to become the owner of an older 2ch Dual Rec. When I was inspecting it the other day I noticed that there are a couple places where it appears that the adhesive has let go. Otherwise, the cosmetic condition is immaculate. What does Mesa use to adhere their covering? I would like to use the actual adhesive that they use if possible. If this adhesive is not available are there alternatives? What have you guys used to repair this type of issue?
It seems that the covering on the rear has begun to sparate from the head cabinet. The separation is occuring at the bottom edge where it turns towards the chassis and also on the sides where it turns in towards the front of the cabinet on the inside. I am assuming that because this head came from the pacific northwest that it was possibly caused by humidity. It is now in southern CA so after I fix this cosmetic issue there should be no further problems with it.
In the past, I have used 3M spray 90 or 77 contact adhesive with Marshall cabinets and tolex. It does fine provided that nothing further disturbs the repair. I want more of a durable adhesive but something that will not prevent me from recovering if necessary/desired down the road.
