Anyone know what is the best adhesive for attaching a fabric trim to a vinyl wall covering, mine has come loose and only need a small amount to refix. Have some stixall in my shed, any good to use?
 
The difficulty will be selecting an adhesive which bonds with / adheres to the vinyl. Vinyl/ PVC adhesives usually contain a solvent which softens and slightly attacks the surface of the vinyl

Stixall is a solvent free silicone/polyurethane adhesive sealant. It would not be high on my list of things to try
CT1 will no doubt be suggested but it is a similar substance

I would look at vinyl adhesives such as Tradegrip SAF 60 or the adhesive for repairing PVC inflatable boats. The single pack adhesive will be adequate I am sure, The later is available in a handy size tube
 
Contact adhesive?
A few stitches perhaps?

I used a spray-on contact adhesive.

Selleys Kwik Grip® Spray is a clear fast drying, spray adhesive that forms an instant bond on contact of two sprayed surfaces. The spray application allows for a fine film of adhesive to be applied across surfaces. It dries colourless and produces a durable bond on both adsorbent and non-absorbent surfaces

I notice 3M have a similar type of adhesive
