    I’ve always used mitre fix nice quick and easy, (basically super glue with activator) window fitters use it all the time for trims

    I successfully used Super Glue from pound shop.
    You could buy bigger bottles of Super Glue from hardware shops.

    Hi Paul,

    I would recommend using a product call ‘Flo-plast’ it’s design for bonding PVC products such as Foamex, Plastic etc and works a treat. You can buy it from ScrewFix. So not sure if Spain have a similar chair of stores where you could enquire into getting this product? Google?

    Regards
    Craig.
