I need a suitable adhesive to stick the vinyl trim to the cant rails. As the cant rails were rusty, I've de-rusted and painted them with smooth Hammerite. Adhesives such as EvoStick and Thixofix state they're not be used for vinyl. I have got an upholstery adhesive that I know will work, having used it when refurbishing my seats, but it's an aerosol with a wide spray pattern so not ideal for the thin cant rails. I'd like an adhesive that can be spread on.
Suggestions / recommendations anyone?

Any latex based adhesive will work such as Copydex or vinyl flooring adhesive. All are water based

How about a bitumen based glue.

How about a bitumen based glue. This will stain the vinyl and also harden with age and soften in strong sunshine. |

High temperature spray adhesive would be my choice. It needs to be high temperature otherwise it is prone to peeling in sunshine.

I tried Copydex, but it didn't stick to the painted metal.
In the end I used the Trim spray adhesive. With some very careful spraying a section at a time it did the job.
Thanks for the replies though.
