The fabric lining on my calton case has come loose from the fiberglass, I tried using strong double sided tape to fix it back on but it didn't work, anyone have any ideas for something that may work?, i'm thinking possibly epoxy...

...don't use epoxy - try a latex adhesive like Copydex, but applied mostly to the fibreglass and sparingly to the fabric so it doesn't soak through. Can you test a small piece somehow before committing?

That happened with my fibreglass case, and the case maker came round and re-glued the lining for me. I can't be sure, but I think he used a brushed on 'contact adhesive', like this: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006CYVOTE?psc=1&smid=A1YYS5W50F3QP2Whatever he used, it was effective and a lot stronger than the stuff he used originally. Only drawback was the smell - it took months to go away entirely, and I tried to mask it by leaving tissues soaked in rosewood essential oil in the accessory compartment.

I live very close to Keith Calton. Maybe if you contacted him, he would do a repair for you. Whatever you do, get it repaired properly as it would appear that the case are worth more than plenty of guitars!
