Will this product work to bond 100% silk fabric to book hardcovers? it will bleed through or not? appreciate any suggestion! Thank you

I haven't used it on a 100% silk fabric. It is pretty thick, so I am only guessing that it would have to be put on very thin. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Aleene's Leather glue works great on leather belts that have separated down the center. It is flexible when dry. I'm not sure how it would work on a chair since the patch would have to bear weight. I don't know how strong it is, but at $5, it's worth a try.

I used this product on spotted silk upholstered chairs that I found in a consignment store but it didn't work. I think the stains were too old. It did not mark or stain the fabric so if your stain is recent I would try it.

Hi Diane,This doesn't restore fabric it water proofs it. It may help with your situation, but, I'm not aware of any product that will stop fraying canvas from continuing to fray.Hope this helps,-Matt

Kinda sorta. I just tried it with a fairly thin hardcover book and it worked a little. It wouldn't work for me personally because I still had to hold the book open. Maybe if mine was "broken in" with books instead of my Kindle... I dunno. (Sorry I wasn't more helpful)

I do not know if it works on those fabrics since I have never had to use it on them. I have used it on my dining room chairs and carpeting with no problem but not sure of the fabric on the chairs. Sorry I can't help you.

I work with 100% cotton fabric and they do hold. I'm not sure how they would hold with silk or similar fabrics. Pins might be a better option for finer fabrics.

What kind of ribbon? Fabric ribbon or the ribbon bought to put on gift boxes? Fabric ribbon works quite well and I haven't noticed any puckering. You just have to be careful not to put too much glue to keep the ribbon looking smooth. I usually use a Qtip to apply glue to fabric ribbon to keep the glue light and neat. Gift box ribbon I haven't used this glue on it. I used another fabric glue and this Beacon glue is better for gluing fabric pieces together. To keep fabric from puckering or showing, don't press down hard on the fabric once glue is applied. I learned this the hard way. A gentle pat on the fabric, once this Beacon Fabri-Tac is on, will make your fabric look neat and nice.

It's a durable cloth and an adhesive that is stable and remains flexible. It is what you want for book repair and preventative maintenance. Don't use masking tape or vinyl tape!

I bought hard cover and made photo book. It works well. To make strong bind use staple (personally recommend). It works better.

I didn't use if for that. I used it to glue fabric to leather -- and it was useless. It came apart after one wear. I think you better go with the other more expensive glues. This seems to only work for very thin fabric.

I haven't tried it through those materials, but I have tried it through 3 layers of cardstock.....I used my Cuttlebug and ran it through 3 times (just back and forth actually) and it cut beautifully. Chipboard and leather might be a little too thick for a framelit, but it would interesting to try.

I do not see why it would not work. It may take a couple of coats but we have used it on furniture, leather covered accent chests, and shoes. It works great and the leather is so soft. Try on a small spot first before tackling the whole book. Hope this helps.

I'm going to say that you can shorten curtains with said adhesive. I used it to glue a confederate flag patch on my fishing vest, and it worked great. I used a little, and it still peeled. Then I used a lot to cover the patch and it has been secured well for this fishing season. I don't wash the vest, so I can't tell about how it stands up in the washing machine and dryer. But I believe this adhesive, without skimping, will work great for shortening curtains.

I tested it on thin paper in a bible. It did not bleed through, but it "shows" through. It would depend on how porous the paper is...HtH....Louise

Since many leather-bound books are bound with leather that has been dyed or treated by some form of preservative (old or new), I would NOT use this product on my books, as it will react with most treated/dyed leathers resulting in a substantial degree of darkening or mottling. I used it on a few undyed knife sheaths with no problem, but they were neither old nor dyed. I would ask a librarian or book dearer, who may readily have an answer or at least be able to direct you to someone with more reliable advice.

Hello,We are also looking at these blinds and was wondering about cutting to size, good to know it worked for you, do you think a fabric sealant would make it more secure? I need three blinds and 3 different sizes.M. Bell
