Is the bonding tape lite enough for silk repair?

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

I doubt it as to get a good bond one needs the friction of steady "rubbing" and this is difficult on tiny, probably rounded surfaces. However, it will do no harm to try and using a "cotton bud" to apply and rub the polish on to the surface may be helpful.

I have used this glue to attach many things. The thing is to watch for is the glue oozig through the fabric. Test it on fabric on scrap leather first. The decision can be made then.

Yes, it should work well to secure yarn knots. It will stay flexible & waterproof. I use it to seal frayed ends on fabric all the time, especially on nylon straps when I cut them. Put a thin layer on, then work it in the fabric with a toothpick & wipe off excess, and when its semi-dry after several minutes, gently squeeze the fibers together with your finger tips to compress the fibers so the edge is nice 'n compact. Let dry for several days.

Yes if the sail is dry for the first 24 hours to bond strongly, but I'd probably go with seam grip or aquaseal for a more permanent repair (also GearAid products).

Absolutely. I used it a few weeks ago for bonding two pieces of fabric together. The seam will be a bit stiff though, FYI. Not any worse then any other glue gun, but I wouldn't recommend it for light flowy fabric.

I have had it for a year and plan to use it for a few more years. As long as the threading doesn't get caked or dried, I think it's good for several years. I doubt the bonding power is affected by age as long as the two products are still flowing and blendable.

I never tried to glue those two items, think it would work for light work. I would go to another type of adhesive for heavy jobs.Aloha Calvin

I have found working with this glue my repair work was quick and easy,there is very little time when it is applied and when it sets, dries transparent and is easy to sand, no blotches.

Good chance it will work, depends on plastic type being bonded and surface prep. If can score both surfaces with an xacto knife or rough a bit up if not enough room. Then clean both surfaces with mild detergent & rinse, then finish with alcohol cleaning on both surfaces. Consider also applying glue to both sides of the button over the break line to add strength to the repair (use xacto or rough up this area also). May want to lightly clamp and let cure for at least 24 hrs for best bond. Success has a lot to do with type of plastic being glued and stress the button needs to withstand. May want to check the J-B Weld web site to make sure you're choosing the best epoxy for the job and confirm surface prep.

I've tried it only on fabric where it is excellent. The label claims it will bond fabric, lace, trim, leather & wood. It might be worth a try.

I use this tape for just about everything that needs taping/repair. I DO use it to cover small tears or holes in my screens, but if it is for a big job my opinion would be to use actual screen repair material.

I wouldn't use the lite for that, I'd use the heavy. Any bubbles just press out. But I'm not sure it would work at all since it must be sewn. The Heat-n-bond company insists it doesn't have to be sewn and that if you have to sew it you're doing it wrong, but apparently everyone I've ever talked to about it is doing it wrong, because they agree with me. (In other words, I think the company is full of it).

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

Charles, the black cloth backed Gorilla tape would be better where the tare is under stress. The clear tape should work on a small tare (2-3") long. In either case clean the area with alcohol or water and let dry. After application press the tape down firmly with a roller if possible. I hope you can repair your awning. Happy RVing !

I was able to cut the patch to a desired size and shape and then remove backing before applying it. The adhesive was super strong and the tape was not at all stiff once the backing was removed. Once removing the backing you need to handle it very carefully as it's it's extremely floppy. It can fold over and stick to itself. You wouldn't want it to be any different. Such characteristics are what make for a truly great repair.

Should work well, maybe brilliantly, as long as either the glass or the pvc is transparent enough to allow UVlight to cure the bond. I am a sculptor (in glass and metal) and for the work I've done Loctite 349 Impruv is peerless, stronger and cleaner than construction silicone
