Yes on the 3M spray-glue.

I would not spray it though . If you get too much on the cloth it can saturate and show-through or stain/spread. If you spray it inside the cabinet, some always gets on the grill (width of the plyboard - the area on 30s radios that is usually brown/black).

I use a brush. - - - spray some inside of the can lid/cap and use a small brush. Clean the brush in lacquer thinner while the glue is STILL wet. Brush onto the inside of the cabinet. This is usually good enough, but if you need more holding power, brush lightly on the corresponding area of the fabric, wait for a minute or two and then press the fabric to the cabinet. If you MUSTT scoot the fabric around then do not wait the 1 - 2 minutes but be prepared to hold/stretch the fabric in place for 1 - 2 minutes.

I've seen people use wood-glue. What a mess.

P.S. You will always get some glue on your fingers and this is always the area that sticks best to - everything else. Do not touch plastic - will melt or smudge. Do not touch your face unless you want to glue your right index finger to the center of your forehead - that would be cool.
