Was your head liner a piece of cloth? I could try it using the throw away double sided carpet tape.
I cut up an old king-sized mattress cover. White quilted material. Made newspaper patterns for all the odd-shaped facets of the M-15's interior, then hemmed the material to shape. It worked famously in 40-degree temps, and actually looked quite shipshape if you didn't mind the resemblance to a padded cell. There'd still be condensation on the ports and the odd surface I didn't cover, but I kept a towel handy and I'd swab it down before emerging from my sleeping bag. Sailrite sells a foam-backed vinyl headliner material, which I used in the Folkboat's interior. Glued in place with contact cement (cartridge respirator required equipment!). Looks like a factory installation; absolutely Bristol. The only drawback is that the contact cement has a finite lifespan, probably ten years. Cheers, John
