Simple question about glueing a cab

I have a pretty new Acoustic 4x10 cab and the edges of the covering on the back of the cab are starting to curl up. They aren't ripped or anything, just a crappy job of staying down.

Can anyone suggest the best kind of adhesive to put it back on so it will stay?

Much thanks in advance!

Hm. I think the first thing I'd try is 3M #77 spray glue. They have it at Home Depot.

I would use standard Weldwood Contact cement and a small paint brush. The spray is going to be tough to get under curling edges, the little 1/2 pint of contact cement with a small artist brush(I use wal Mart cheapies) will allow you into small areas without overspray

This is also available at Wal Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, Target etc.

I've had the same problem on my self-made cabs. The best solution I've found is a product called "E600" made by Eclectic Products, Inc. of Pineville, La. It comes in a 3.7 oz. tube, in black, (medium viscosity), and sticks to most anything; looks like silicone caulk - available at Amazon.
