Thanks for your response, you brought up some good points. Did you use an exacto knife to cut around the edges? How long will it take for the cement smell to dissipate from the vehicle?

The cement can be brushed, rolled or sprayed. It's also a lot stronger and made to resist heat on surfaces like the dash that can see up to 130 degree + temperatures. The 3M spray will let go at those temps.

Lastly, the best way to bond the Alcantara or any other material is to coat both sides before adhering them to together. With the spray, it's so thin that it has an easier chance of bleeding through on the material side.
