Can you show us a pic of the tin (tiles or strips) you're looking for? The more eyes, for searching, the better.

I assume you've looked, but there's a lot of samples on etsy, also.

I would think the dedicated companies, that sell this type of tile, could advise you better, as to what adhesive to use. Test some adhesive on a sample, if you have a spare sample of tin.

Just down the road from me -authentic patterns from the past.

Thanks again folks, I have plenty of tin, since I added the soffit. (I actually now have extra.) Was wondering about adhesives instead of brads, that's all. On the other hand, I did NOT think about Etsy. I'll add that to my list of places to seek tools, salvage, etc. thanks!

Regardless, I snipped everything last week, both cleaned up the ceiling lines and prepped the pieces back going up. I have a couple of small areas of cleats to re-set, and then it's ready to line up and nail. Hopefully, this weekend, I can put it all up and also patch those danged holes from the prior owner's can lights.
