Beacon Fabri-Tac Permanent Adhesive, 4-Ounce by

Outstanding fabric glue. Gives you enough time to align and sets nicely. Using it on faux fur and there is no seepage through the backing. Highly recommended

Excellent product and quick delivery

I'm glad i invested in this glue. needed something to stick fabric to various mediums such as paper etc. for my handmade books. You can control the flow really well. Great adhesive, very strong. I've not only used this with fabric but other items too and it has no problem sticking. Dries quick as well and clear. Any smudges can be rubbed off once dry. i've used this on a variety of fabrics and noticed that with sheer or satin type fabrics the glue can show through like a watermark. But if you just lay the fabric onto the glue with minimum pressure, then that often solves that issue. I will definitely buy this again but a larger size. It is a little pricey but i have made lots of crafty items with this and not used half of the bottle as yet. Goes a long way. A lot quicker than using double sided tape. I would recommend popping the cap on when not using as can squirt out a little.

I generally use a PVA type glue formulated for fabric. Thought that I would try this out and it is fab. I have so far used it to stick ribbon and lace etc. to card (making decorative photo journals) and I am very pleased. It is clear and fast grab and works well with synthetic or cotton trims, even fine organza ribbon. It is solvent based so does have an aroma (use in a ventilated space). I have not yet tried it to stick fabric onto fabric. It is supposedly washable when set but not yet tried. It does remain clear when dried and not show through, plus remains flexible (important if you want to use it for soft crafts).

I was a little dubious this would be any good , but it is the best glue I've used for crafts. Was recommended by a bag designer and thought I'd try it. It stuck an ear on an ornament back on an ornament better than supper glue. A little expensive but well worth it

Ok for light repairs.

I use it on my warhammer models for spit ect... and its perfect, no mess easy to work with would highly recommend

Great glue for fabric and probably other things too. I will say though that I used it on a large project and getting it out of the tube was so tough it made my thumb go numb for a couple of days so if you’re using it a lot I’d decant it into a pot or something rather than squeezing it out. It’s thickness is a plus for the fabric as it soaks through less but makes it harder to apply in large amounts.

De beste lijm voor hobby die er bestaat, lijmt zowat alles en laat geen sporen na op papier en textiel. Hij blijft ook nog soepel eens hij opgedroogd is wat ook belangrijk is voor het lijmen van textiel.

This is a very impressive glue, and I would have no difficulty in recommending it, thankyou.

This is the best "do it all" glue. It performs amazingly and I've been using it for over a decade to glue fabrics and whatnot. This is the good stuff, people!

Excelente producto.

NO MORE SEWING Beacon Fabri-Tak does an excellent job of bonding fabrics, without soaking through. For guys, its a Godsend---no more stapling torn pants pockets or hemming pant-legs with duck-tape. I've used Fabri-Tak to hem pants, to apply patches to holes in work-clothes, to apply uniform patches, even to make up straps and belts with webbing and plastic buckles. For repair patches, it works better than iron-on patches. The only real major limit is seams which come under alot of stress, such as pants inseams (i.e., crotches) (including zippers), or children's play clothes. TACKING Another use is to make difficult sewing jobs easier. For example, you can "tack" material together for a rough fitting, adjust to a tighter fit, and then sew the seams. Or you can assemble a garment with Fabri-Tac, and then sew it easier (i.e., with simple stitches rather than multiple rows or complicated stitches). FOR COSTUMES Although no other reviewers mention it, Fabri-Tac is ideal for assembling costumes which will only be worn a few hours and probably never be washed. FOR UNIFORM OR DECORATIVE PATCHES 1) Mark the target area. I suggest using a soft pencil (or water soluble felt-tip marker) to mark underneath the edges of the patches (where the marks won't show) For round patches, mark the orientation, i.e., the exact top and/or exact bottom. Do NOT wash the garment immediately after applying patches. 2) Apply a light bead of glue 3/16 to 1/4" from the edge around the circumference, and then thin parallel lines about 3/8" apart across the interior which corresponding to embroidered parts of the patch. Some patches are virtually completely filled with embroidery, some aren't---do NOT apply Fabri-Tak to large (> 3/8" in diameter)unbroidered areas, or the patch may "pucker". 3) Align and press hard enough to spread out the glue. Place a heavy object (such as a brick or several thick books) on top of the patch (and underneath if you need to make a flat surface), and leave it for an hour. If you do this alot, then squares of thin plywood the size of the patches (on the top and bottom) and spring clamps will do the trick and allow you to apply several patches at a time. WARNING--patches applied this way may be impossible to remove after a week---if the patches are temporary, don't be so diligent, a light bead around the circumference is enough, or better yet, sew temporary patches on. TIP ON USE It REALLY dries fast. Maybe after a minute you can still tack things together temporarily, but you won't have a permanent bond. If you want a permanent bond, apply to a small section and quickly press the fabric pieces together, and hold for at least 5 seconds, before moving on to the next section. If you can, clamp the section behind you as you go--clothespins will usually do, but spring clamps with flat pivitong jaws are better-- Denali 14-Piece Spring Clamp Assortment . Press the fabric pretty hard--that gets the glue into the fibers. When you are done, go back and press the fabric together again. GENERAL PRINCIPALS OF GLUING ANYTHING WITH ANY GLUE 1) The strength of the bond is proportional to the area. That means, spread the glue uniformly over the whole surface. 2) Although counter-intuitive, the THINNER the layer of glue the stronger the bond. Especially with other types of glues, it often helps to use a spatula (such as an old plastic credit card) or popsicle stick to spread a then uniform layer of glue. With Fabri-Tac and some other glues/situations, you can apply a thin bead, and then squeeze it out into a thin uniform layer by pressing or clamping the peices together. Light clamping, or using weights for the same purpose, until the glue sets improves any gluing job. 3) Regardless of the instructions, all glues take days, even weeks, to reach full strength. So, it is best to set aside garments repaired with Fabri-Tac in a warm ventilated place for a couple of days before use---and NEVER wash garments immediately after repairing them. THIN ON THIN Applying thin fabric (such as ribbon, or a large area of thin felt), especially on thin fabric is a challenge. Mark the target (see above). Cut the ribbon to its final length. Then work fast. Apply the glue to the full length of the ribbon. Apply the ribbon to the target. Place a thick piece of paper over the ribbon and burnish. That means to rub hard. It is best to burnish in two or more stages, 1) quickly to get the whole ribbon burnished down, 2) repeat slower, and 3) repeat even slower. A small pastry roller is good for the first stage--but you can use your fingers or a spatula (don't forget the paper). For the last stage, an old thick credit card works well---push hard with the edge, bending the card, but keep it moving, in multiple short strokes(don't forget the paper). For items which will not be washed glue sticks will probably work better Avery Glue Stic, 0.26 oz, Pack of 6, (98095) . For the most difficult projects, use spray glue. PREVENTING LEAKING AND THICKENING My experience is that the bottle inevitably falls over on its side, and leaks. Tightening the cap doesn't seem to help. The same problem causes the glue to thicken over time. The simple solution to this to store the bottle in a tall glass bottle. A 6 1/2"; tall olive jar is perfect.
