Hello, Jani.
I use the finest rubber-based double-sided adhesive on my foam and fabric products. It has an extremely thin center layer, but it is strong. It is rated for use in auto manufacturing...it is of that high quality. There are only two ways to allow repositioning of fabric material that I know of. One: press the fabric into one side of the adhesive and wet the other side of the adhesive before you assemble it. This method gives you time to adjust the fabric before the water dries. After the water dries, the fabric can be pressed down again for the final application. This is the best alternative. Two: wet the fabric with solvent like naphtha or denatured alcohol after you have assembled it. This was is less desirable, because it weakens the adhesive bond somewhat. How much of this do you need?
