Can I use this glue to attach fabric zipper facing to a leather vest. The fabric ripped away from the stiching for about 3 inches on the front of a vest. I cannot sew it back on without removing the entire zipper. Will the glue repair this?

Hi, I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.

I would NOT use this for leather apparel like jackets, bags, or shoes. Get Leather Honey (or Honey Leather) instead. This feels kinda slippery after application

There are spray-on adhesives available at most craft stores that will do the trick nicely. Just don't spray it too thickly, you just want the surface of the fabric to stick, saturating the fabric would probably reduce its effectiveness; and use a small roller or flat scraper to smooth from the center out to attach the fabric smoothly. You will want to cut and do a dry fit before you glue, so that you will have good fit when you get ready to affix the fabric.

Because you are using tearaway stabilizer. Is this a denser design? Tear away is great for hand stitching and light stitching. "Redwork", etc. However, on more detailed and denser designs (especially the compact ones), you end up sewing yourself holes in the stabilizer and it no longer does its job. I had a lot of issues with this until I found out what was going on. I never have that problem with cut away stabilizer, which is better for garments and holds up better in the wash, too. I very rarely use tearaway because of this issue.

Maybe, but I used it to glue patches onto my packback (which isn't denim, but a synthetic fabric) and it didn't work.

From what i understand it should repair just like any other Neoprene suit. You could take it to a dive shop and have them repair it but i also think they sell a Neoprene glue that you can do repairs yourself. You can also source out the the black thermal tape used on the seams if it ever comes off.

used this kit to repair some small tears in my leather sectional. It worked great, made a very strong repair. I used a popcicle stick to spread the adhesive on the underside of the tear, all the way around the edges. then added the backer cloth that was supplied in the kit, and then added more adhesive to the edges of the tear. Let is dry for 12 hrs then used the color sets to blend the repair. The adhesive seems very strong, yet flexible, I'm sure it will hold to surface and deep tears. My repair has held for a couple of months on the seat part of the sofa, and gets pretty regular daily use. used this kit to repair some small tears in my leather sectional.

No juliette, this product is actually a web of glue that is activated by heat. You might try an interfacing to mend your slacks. You could use Pellon 906F sheer weight interfacing or Pellon 911FF featherweight interfacing using the method you described to make the repair. Both 906f and 911ff are available in white. 911ff is also made in black but harder to find. JoAnn fabrics does carry it in their larger stores. Hope this helps.

This may be better for what you want.Val-A TG-16 Tear Mender Fabric and Leather AdhesiveI would give mine a try because of the price. I know it sticks any cloths together even plastic cloths of today. It works the best on everything I've ever tried.I hope that helps butno where on the bottle does it say "latex glue".good luck.

It's plastic tape. I am no expert on sewing, but I would think the tape would just tear at the holes.

I sewed it on. But, there is a pretty good adhesive sheet that you can get called Badge Magic, you can try. I have used it for my daughters scout badges. But after several months, there are a few edges that are detaching, so I am going to sew those on. Hope this is helful.

Tear Mender will definitely man either leather or patent leather. I used the glue to repair a Pottery Barn recliner and the results are excellent. I can barely see where the tear used to be. The glue dries flexible and clear.

It holds metal to paper beautifully so fabric to fabric would surely work. I love this glue, the best in crafting from my experience.

You did not specify what the vest was made of. If leather, be careful to fill the holes with a toothpick to minimize visibility. It is not going to magically make the holes disappear, it will only fill them in so you don't have holes for air or water to seep through.

You could use on fabrics BUT,,, remember as this glue cures it expands into a hard foam type material. Don't know if that is the result you would want.

If it is leather, you might try it in an inconspicuous place (on the underside of the vest). This particular product dried incredibly shiny and was not flexible... it cracked on my leather furniture. I would not recommend trying it on a piece of clothing that you really like; instead, I would ignore the pin holes.

Hello! I covered a rip on the top of the middle couch cushion on a leather and vinyl couch I have. The tape has been in place for about 2 months, without lifting, cracking, or otherwise breaking down. It really STICKS! The only problem I have, is that the surface texture of the couch is dull/satiny, and the tape is very shiny, which is just my "eye for perfection," flaring up! :) If someone is using it to patch a rip, it is a workhorse. I bought clear, because I did not find any of their tape in the reddish brown color of my couch. In a vehicle, one would consider changes in weather and temperatures. Although, I have used black Gorilla Tape in my barn, to cover sharp edges of a wire partition. It's been in there for about a year, through minus degree weather, and very hot weather, and still holding strong, with very little or no fraying, even though my gelding rubs his body against it regularly, as it is at a level to his shoulders and lower hips.
