Foams, fabrics and upholstery components can differ between suppliers, grades and production batches. Material construction, surface condition, application method, production speed and finished-use requirements can influence adhesive performance. New or unfamiliar material combinations and production processes should therefore be assessed before full-scale manufacture.
