I have built a cradle and purchased some fabric - red velvet - which I intend to glue to the inside of the two "forks" to protect my model. The stand is already varnished. Has anybody got an idea of what glue I should use I was thinking of using either epoxy or contact glue, but I want to make sure that the nice soft velvet doesn't suck some of the glue and becomes like sandpaper Suggestions are most welcome

Maybe this is too simple, but what about double-sided Sellotape (or equivalent)? Won't damage the fabric, and if it turns out to be a temporary solution you can repeat or do something else.

Has anybody got an idea of what glue I should use Suggestions are most welcome Hi poul, I make all my stands similar to yours but use green baize (the stuff covering a snooker table). This is obtainable from dressmakers and material shops by the metre and is very cheap. It is glued on with ordinary PVA glue. Cut it oversize, coat the wood with the glue and lay the baize on it and leave to dry. When dry, trim the excess with a scalpel or craft knife. You can try your velvet using the same method. As usual, test on some scrap first. You can use the off-cuts to cover the underneath of wooden objects such as bowls etc. to stop them scratching the table.
