The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors headliner intall

Hello all;
just got my one piece headliner for my '41. It says to use water and amonia to form, but no instructions were given. What dilution rate do I use? Do you get the piece wet or damp?
Any help is welcome

I've read someplace its a 50/50 mix, but not 100% sure. You only want to slightly dampen the backside. You get it to wet and you'll have pieces of cardboard in your hand. Don't know about a '41, but on my '51 it took an extra set of hands. Cecil..............

I've also read on other posts that the strength of the ammonia will affect the dilution you need. Many household ammonias are already diluted - check your bottle before starting. Try putting it in a spray bottle and give a gentle mist on the back to prevent over-wetting the headliner.

For my AD, the headliner arrived rolled, so I laid it out on a large table and sat heavy books on it for several days before installing it. That worked really well. As Cecil said, my project (54) also took a helper to get it in.

Good luck.
