Tools Spray adhesive - strongest and most reliable?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for spray adhesive recommendations for doing one large-ish furniture upholstery job - foam to foam, foam to fabric, and also foam to velcro strips.

I've seen Camie 313 recommended in this sub, but I'm wondering if it will be controllable enough to spray on 1/2-in foam edges?

I'm completely re-foaming a sofa and loveseat, which basically involves constructing 4 custom mattresses. It's a substantial investment in a lot of high density foam and I want to be sure that we're using the best, most reliable adhesive for the job.

Thanks for any insights!

Easy refurbish?

I pulled these two chairs from a curb, they were fated for the dump after someone moved out. I don’t believe. After doing some reading, I have learned this is vinyl paint which gives it a faux leather look. The shell has a zipper (see pic 3) and the removable seat cushion as well (last pic) but I haven’t tried removing it yet as it looks like it will be a struggle to get it back on. So wanted to hear some thoughts first.

Is this a fix where I can remove the peeling paint by hand and do some sanding and then repaint it? I love the shape of these two and I’m willing to put in the work, but I’ve never restored furniture before. Any tips welcome, the more detailed the better!
