Tips for working with Alcantara

[vette427-sbc]

I got my roll of Alcantara from Gulf Fabrics a few weeks ago and Ive been attempting to recover some the interior myself. Anyone have any tips on working with this material?
What kind of glue should I use? (preferably something I can buy at Napa or Home Depot)
Can I heat it to work it into corners?
Thanks!

nothing you can get from either of those stores. Check your local upholsterer for some adhesive, to purchase some. Or order from a place like this. http://www.yourautotrim.com/glues.html

built into the Alcantara is a woven webbing. You can heat the fabric and mold it pretty good. I would take a small test piece and use a heat gun to see how far and how hot you can get it before you singe it. I can tell you, it will take a good bit of heat, just keep the heat gun moving.
