I bought a gallon of PPG Gripper a month ago. I was told that it was the same thing just different label. After reading this thread, I bought a 5-gallon bucket of Glidden Gripper (the last bucket my Home Depot had in stock). I also have a one-year old can with a little Glidden Gripper left in it. So I decided to do an experiment to see if PPG can glue Canvas to Foam as well as Glidden. For a control factor in the experiment, I'm also using a little bit of Sherwin-Williams Primer and Paint that I happened to have laying around.
I'm using the same rules for this experiment as I used in the "Fixin to get ready" thread.

I put the canvas down yesterday and the paint should be completely dry by tomorrow morning. I'll post the end results tomorrow afternoon. In this experiment, just like the last one, whichever one is hardest to pull off the foam and pulls up the most foam with it, is the winner.
I just picked up (3) 5-gallons at the HD in Northgate, WA and they were $112 each, so it came to $370 with tax.

I'm not sure how much is needed for a standard teardrop.
...for me the big difference between the gripper (or other paints) and actual fiberglass is the potential learning curve.
