Source for the 1/8 staples? Do they require a special staple gun?

So, a quick update.

I got new used headliners from 928 International and swapped them into the GTS. Came out pretty good, and I'm a lot happier not having a headliner that's curling back at the edges. Replacing the sunroof drip tray and seals seems to have cured the leak.

I bought the high temp contact cement from Timberline, but I'm not too impressed with it. It doesn't seem to stick and hold nearly as well as Weldwood - at least not between vinyl and metal. We'll see how it does when I get into the doors and door panels... In the meantime, I also found something called Pliobond at my local Ace hardware. It claims to be good from below zero to 200F. Anyone tried this stuff?

The Pliobond and Weldwood should give similar results

Do they sell the dap hhr in any local stores? Or just on the internet? I'm having to do my vinyl doors as they flap in the wind.

I haven't seen Weldwood HHR in stores, but my local ACE Hardware carries Pliobond, which is a similar contact cement, and rated to 450F or so.
