PVA is not flexible, it cracks when flexed, I seriously doubt a headliner would stay put for long with PVA.So after much researching......

UHU is better, but use in a well ventilated area or you'll be as high as a kite ...

Fair enough. To me the flexing of the head panel would break it up PDQ, plus if the head lining material is foam backed the PVA would soak into it.

I have a 5 litre tub of the stuff, add it to cement mixes.
Certainly worth a try, btd- was the Australian headliner pictured a P38 one, or a Defender? I only ask because the Defender moulding is a fibreboard, and may be a bit more PVA-friendly. I've done 3 now (Defender ones), and find the zero open time of the Martrim / impact adhesives to be a PITA so am all ears re alternatives. Having said that, you still probably only want a one minute open time - PVA is probably way longer, unless you've found a clever formulation. PVA will also need pressure while drying to form the bond. My P38 is due soon so looking for decent alternatives.

The thing id be concerned with is if the lining absorbs the pva too much it will stain permanently

The Matrim headlining stuff is great..
It will stick anything together!
I wouldn't use PVA

Light coat both sides, and you have to wait for it to dry then apply the cloth to the ceiling, you dont need to soak it

Hey, if it sticks slabs of slate to a fireplace it will hold a bloody headlining up.

No more nail? Had a mate that did that. Great until he lit the fore at Christmas and suddenly a large slab of slate detached itself from above the mantlepiece and crashed down.
