Has anyone used this as a hem glue? The other product I've used on my khaki pants that is sold as a hem glue just doesn't last as long as it should.

I've used this glue on knee patches I've ironed on and have come off... the glue holds for about 3-4 washes, then comes loose.

I think that it really depends on what kind of fabric. I love this tape but when you use it to stick fabric to fabric, sometimes it doesn't hold as well as you would like. I tried to use it temporarily for a pair of pants that needed to be rehemmed and it didn't hold as well as certain fabrics.

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 use hem any time during the day or night it better used as a lubricant for dry eye. I hopes this helps you. It is a good product.

I'm fond of this glue and have used it for ages, even to repair the top of a teapot, which lasted a long time. I would hazard a guess that it would work. Can't say, though, that it would work forever, which is a long, long time. Still, the price is right.

The glue is very sturdy & will last outside for many months. Just check on it every so often to make sure none of the areas the glue has been applied to has separated from any surfaces. My suggestion would be to roughen up any areas where you're applying the glue with large grain sandpaper to help the glue stick better. Good luck!!

I have not tried it on those fabrics before, but I will say this product sticks. Unless you plan to wash, wear the item a lot or plan to try to "unstick" it at some point, or have a really thick seam (like using it to hem something), it would work fine on those surfaces.

I bought the KIWI CAMP DRY for a friend and she is a real OUTDOORS GIRL!!! She used it on her shoes. It worked great on her canvas and rubber hiking shoes! I'm guess they would work ok with jeans as a water REPELLENT but I would contact the manufacturer of your jeans and make sure your jean are a STAY FAST COLOR so as the spray is worked into the jean fabric, it doesn't mess with the color of your jeans. Some jeans can be very expensive and I would hate to see you mess of the color!!! If they are just cheap work or cheap everyday jeans, I wouldn't be to concerned! Also check on the prices of SCOTCH-GUARD and FABRIC-GUARD. Each of these products might be a bit cheaper and they are designed for fabrics!!!! Hope this helps out some and things workout for you.

I have not had good luck with any rustoleum products. No matter what I do.....great prep work...evrything....the rust comes back. I would be very skeptical. I just tired this stuff....hasn't been long enough to determine if it works. It is clear. I think the intent is to seal the rust in so oxygen can't get to it.

The odor is not very strong and after the glue dries completely the odor is gone. I have used this glue to patch a hole in a pair of pants above the left rear pocket and it has held up even after a few washings.

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.

i'm not sure what its made of, but this would really work. be very careful when you use it not to get it on any hardwood floor, use something thick lile a magazine under the area you are working on. also, i have heard that if you use a little vasoline on the tip of the glue nozzel, that it will keep those strings of glue from coming out and bugging you. i would definitely try this glue for this. i have used it for fraying many times. i try not to use alot of glue so it doesnt show. cut off the smallest amount on the tip so it comes out slowly and put the glue over the frayed area. wait until it dries and then trim off any small strings. the area that you glue will be a little darker and stiffer, but its better than having your rug unravel. there is also a product called fray check, that is used in sewing, but its thinner and might not work for a thick area like a carpet. if it just the serger threads you want to fix, you might try it first. it will dry a little darker and be a little stiff also. i hope this helps. if you go with the fabric tac, use gloves to protect your manicure. try it on a small area first. i love this glue and use it for many things.

I have never tried it, and although the bond may hold together but I think the fabric will probably become stiff. I will do a test for you right now with two pieces of cotton fabric..I will get back to you asap..Ok I'm back & Nope..Sugano-Hollywood was right..this DEF won't work on fabrics. It doesn't hold at all & just seeps into the fabric making a sticky mess!

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.

The temp setting on your iron does not make a difference. This product does not adhere fabrics together. It will melt but it will not adhere. I went to fabric store and bought hem bond by Singer and it worked like a charm even at low settings. Don't waste your money or your time.

I've actually used this to fix a fraying carpet, and it worked! However, I don't know if this glue was the kind your carpet guy actually intended...
