I have a 14'short wall that I am putting LQs in. I would like for the walls to have some kind of leather look or soft touch to them. I have seen some vinyls that look like leather, but what would you use to secure it to the walls? Thanks for your input.

No, unfortunately, we have not found anything either. I have found the fabric...but not prefoamed on the back. We are at our wits end. If anyone figures out where to find it, PLEASE let me know too. Thank you.

Try these guys jazzsales.com you will have to find a local dealer. They are wholesale only but they will set you up with just a tax number and business license. It is expensive I just bought a roll about $10 a yard and you have to buy 60 yds. they will not cut it. But it is nice. I'm doing a LQ for myself with it and copper recessed ceilings.

Hi everyone... You can order the vinyl from Larry Dennis Company. http://www.larrydennis.com/ # 1-817-222-9700. It is glued to the walls with a spay on adhesive. Try Stay Put. It can be ordered from a RV supply store. It is made by AP Products. It sales for around $18.00 a can. It's Polystyrene Foam adhesive. If you use the wrong glue it will melt the foam backing.

Hi again, you can go to http://www.jbjconversions.com/ and click on (order your RV parts and supplies) and go to page 167 it has the Stay Put adhesive, if you don't have a RV supplier close by. They will ship it straight to you.

I went to the Larry Dennis site and did not find what I am using for soft walls from Jazz Sales, can you give us the product name that it is called in the upholstry world. Thanks, always looking for different suppliers.

Also on the spray adhesive if you just want the spray cans you can get 3M Super Trim Advhesive (by far the best out there) at any Advance Auto Parts for about $12.00 a can. I use the same stuff in 5 gallon cans and spray it through a cheap paint gun. Just FYI

If you call Larry Dennis and talk with them they should give you what you want to know. I do not like their web site either. That's why I called them. They really have a large selection to choose from. Keith at Jazz Sales is really helpful too. Jazz will not sell to any one unless you have a business license. But if they will give you the info that you need to buy else where that is the way to go. Larry Dennis is a little high in price. You can also buy the vinyl at some fabric shops but you have to be careful of the backing on some of the vinyl purchased, If it has a kinda fuzzy backing and not smooth, it will draw up and wrinkle when exposed to the adhesive. If you get the foam backing that is OK too.
