    I would suggest you glue two and a half inches to each side. That way, any irregularity in texture caused by the glue/foam interface will be too near the edges to cause any discomfort.

  3. I just used a heat resistant spray glue. Push together and pinch the surface where it meets to get a good contact. I went from 3/4 to full width no problem. I also glued the new scrim with it and the ends of the stockinette cover. Its been absolutely fine.

    Go to a proper upholsterers that does camper beds or car headlining or boat headlining. . and buy a tin of their preferred high temperature spray adhesive. Or pay them to stick it together.

    Locally I use Totton Upholsterers for foam and sticking it and Hawke House near Lee on Solent for headlining and glues.

    One tip I got was if sticking foam to a flat surface was to use contact glue that you spread from a tin on the hard surface and the spray stuff on the foam.
     
  7. That Red Trim-Fix stuff peeeeved me right off because I used it to trim my dash in leather, however after about a year in the heat & sun the glue became fluid again and unstuck.

    The Screwfix "Nemesis" contact adhesive is the best I have come across. All my door cards and seat foams all have been holding strong with this stuff.
