Suitability depends on the material being bonded rather than the vehicle model.
How to Apply
- Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease and contamination.
- Shake the can thoroughly before use.
- Mask surrounding surfaces and protect areas from overspray.
- Spray an even coat onto both bonding surfaces from approximately 15–20cm away.
- Allow the adhesive to become tacky for approximately 1–3 minutes.
- Carefully position the materials and apply firm, even pressure.
- Allow the bond to cure before trimming edges or placing the area under heavy stress.
Work in manageable sections. Avoid covering drainage holes, wiring, airbags, seatbelt systems, vents, fixings and moving parts. Always follow the safety and application instructions printed on the can.
Coverage
One can typically covers approximately 2–4m², depending on surface porosity, the material being bonded, overspray and application method. A full carpet-lining project may require several cans, particularly where adhesive is applied to both surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for campervan carpet lining?
Yes. Trim Fix 120 is designed for automotive and campervan interior applications and is suitable for bonding 4-way stretch carpet to correctly prepared vehicle panels and conversion furniture.
Can it be used on ceilings and headlining?
Yes. Its high-temperature performance makes it suitable for overhead applications when both surfaces are compatible, correctly prepared and bonded as directed.
Should I spray one surface or both?
For the strongest bond, apply an even coat to both compatible surfaces unless the instructions on the can state otherwise.
How many cans do I need?
One can typically covers around 2–4m². The required quantity depends on surface porosity, the area being covered and whether both surfaces are sprayed.
Can it bond foam or insulation?
It can be suitable for selected foam and insulation products, but material formulations vary. Test a small area first and avoid use where the solvent may affect the material.
Can it be used on wood?
Yes. It can be used on suitable clean, dry plywood, MDF and timber surfaces. Porous boards may absorb more adhesive and reduce coverage.
Is it waterproof?
It is intended for protected vehicle-interior use. It should not be treated as a waterproofing product or used as a substitute for sealing leaks, joints or exposed exterior surfaces.
How long should I wait before trimming?
Allow the bond to establish before cutting or placing the material under tension. Exact working and cure times vary with temperature, ventilation, coating thickness and substrate, so follow the instructions printed on the can.
What is the difference between the single can and 12-pack?
The adhesive is the same. The single can suits smaller jobs, while the 12-pack offers better value for full conversions, workshops and professional installers.
