Hello All,
The Philco 40-200 radio has a 1/8" hardboard that the grill cloth attaches to. I don't want to staple the new cloth to the board because the shortest staples I can find are 1/4". It looks like Philco originally glued the cloth to the hardboard. My first thought is to use 3M contact cement but I'm concerned that the cement will bleed through the cloth. Can someone recommend a type of glue I can use for this job?

Denis R.
