Does anyone know of any "helps" on installing PUI's un-assembled door panels?

thanks

They're just a type of door panel skins. www.pui.cc is the manufacturer. I got them from Classic Industries.

I've pealed the old skins off and cleaned up the metal panels. Do I need to use spray adhesive?

thanks

We used spray adhesive and sprayed the inside of the panel, pulling the material at the edges to get it tight.

It takes time to get it square and get the wrinkles out, but it works easier if the material is warm.

Good luck!

I agree with Jim, i helped a guy do this, and used a hair drier to heat them up and stretch them out over the backing.

good luck

Thanks for the help. I'm using plastic clamps to hold the edges down while the glue dries.
