Default Reglue dash Pad edge

So 1973 Firebird and the dash is in very nice shape no cracks etc....
Only concern is the lip area that sits against the metal frame of the car is curling in spots but is still quite pliable...anyone reglue sections and if successful what did ya use...Chris

I had this issue with my 75 Camaro. If I remember right (18 years ago), I used a construction adhesive and layed bricks on top to keep compressed while it cured. It stayed until this day.

I’d have to go double check but think I bought this stuff applied it with popsicle stick small ones then used larger pop sticks to protect the dash when the clamps were applied…
