I'd like to thank everyone for their post, i got some great ideas on how i'm gonna do my dash, here is some pics of how I did it, keep in mind it's not done and there is still a ton of work to do on it:

And here's is a general idea of how the dash is gonna look when it's done with the screen in it:

You can use the spray glue...I think a lot of people use 3m super 90...or 3m 77

For mine I went with Contact cement...I brushed it on though...and it took about 3 cans to do half of my interior.

ive been thinking of using this on my next material to, how long did it take to sit up? i tried it once and it was really hard to brush, but could you stretch the material really tight press it onto the piece let go and it hold? thats my problem, i dont wanna sit there and hold it for 15 minutes lol

I don't remember the total set up period...but it worked great for the tweed I used it on (not really a stretchy fabric though)

I brushed it onto both pieces and let them sit for about 15 minutes until it became tacky/dry to the touch. When put together the bond is almost instint...you are able to peel it back a bit and try again if you need though.

I'd say test a piece first.

yea, well ive done MANY tweed projects, and ive always just used the 3M super trim adhesive, the super 77 or whatever never lasted, but that super trim adhesive held for YEARS in my daily...

now ive been trying the stretch vinyl, and the super trim adhesive holds it for about a week! so im gonna try this on it also
