As was already mentioned, temperature is critical to a good bond, perhaps the most important part of using this glue. Next in line is dust, try to have a dust-free area to work in. If you don't think it will be warm enough, don't use it! Brush, roller or spray will all work well enough, but do a test pass on some scrap to make sure of temperature, drying times & bonding. High humidity can really slow things down.
A heat gun or shop heater are what you need to insure a good bond. A hard roller is good also, to provide enough pressure to make the bond, once the sheets are in place. Don't do any trimming until all the parts are bonded, or you will have a layer of dust which will keep the bond from working. Dust acts like small ball bearings between the glued surfaces & will create trouble later on. Take your time & it will turn out well.
Make sure you have enough hands to position things correctly the first time. Once that stuff grabs, it has to be in the right place as you won't be able to slide it around. Best of luck. tim
P.S. We are talking about a water based adhesive, correct (Fastbond 30)? The solvent base (Fastbond 10) shouldn't be near any pilot lights, electrical switches or ignition sources!
