   What i did was i cut the faux leather fabric put the glue on it and the door and put them both together and soon as they both touched it glued down no time to move it or nothing . so i took it off cleaned the door up again got the other piece of faux leather fabric and took the backing off it stuck that down no problems there again put more glue on the door and faux leather fabric same happened again stuck down before i could move it
   
   Any idea's ?

   Learn to know when your beat. But seriously this sort of stuff is for people in the trade really who have experience in this sort of thing. Maybe there is a local firm who could assist you / or you could just forget the whole thing and out it down to a bad job
   
   Either way I hope you get it sorted buddy

   use different glue that allows you a few minutes to adjust?

   usually u put a fluid on the back like when you do vinyl i assume.....or as stated something bit more fluidy that will give you some movement...

   maybe try only glueing a little bit at a time, so glue the area that youre starting on, then let that set, then glue the next bit etc etc..?

    i used both on mine. two types come in a can, ones white and the others clear, both kept behind the till at b&q. check out my guide for re trimming might have written it on there?

    I use that glue all the time, its the kind of glue that can hang a man from the celing if you so wish. In other words thats the complete wrong stuff, the spray glue everyone mentioned is fine.

    i just used spray glue and looks great as you can see above and if you just spray a part and stick it down flatten it and then spray more flatten it out and so on
