Vinyl, Fabric & Plastic Flexible Adhesive

My favorite totes rain jacket that you can’t get anymore, looked all over and I can’t replace it, so I desperately wanted to glue it, but never had good luck with glues. I hate super glue and never have been able to glue anything with it but my fingers. Did a search and found this glue, because I think the material of this jacket is some kind of a plastic, very similar to the rain capes that people get. When you puncture the top of the glue be careful because it blurbs out. I had to wipe that off my jacket quickly. I use a popsicle stick and spread the glue on one side and laid the other side over top of it and you have to work quickly because it starts melting the fabric and sticking it together. I flattened it down as best I could with the popsicle stick, and then spread masking tape over the rip, like they said on the box. I was afraid the masking tape would adhere to the jacket, but when I checked in two hours, it came right up so I laid it back down for overnight and in the morning took off the tape, but I’m gonna let the jacket set for two days so it can cure. The jacket has a wrinkly affect so the tear site blends in really well. I am really impressed with this glue and I have hope that this is going to work out because it looks like it’s really glued together. I went and tried taking a metal magnet that I’ve been trying to glue to a refrigerator ornament for years and I’m going to try this out and see if it works, I hope so . I also noticed that the jacket right now seems to be soft and pliable, which most glues are always hard and stiff feeling so that’s really impressive. Don’t hesitate to try this for your projects. I’m leaving a picture here of my jacket!

I accidentally brushed up against a rose thorn bush, and much to my dismay it tore a small part of the arm in my leather jacket! It's a genuine leather (technically sheep skin) jacket from Emporio Armani. I was able to repair it to my satisfaction (see pics), and so far the glue seems to hold well while being flexible, and I'm happy with how the seam was closed up. I did some research prior to purchasing this, so I'll list the steps I took below. One thing that I saw some reviewers mention is that the glue melted away some of the fabric they were working with (but I believe they were using faux leather). This was not the case when I used it on real leather, so I would recommend this product for anyone with a similar use case to mine. Here are the steps: Materials needed: (1) Loctite Vinyl Plastic Adhesive Glue (this amazon listing) (2) A palette knife (I bought this one and used the smallest one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072P1R5B7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) (3) A piece of thin, flexible fabric that is a bit larger than the size of the tear you're working with. (e.g. if you have a 10mm diameter hole, the piece of fabric you use should be at least 14-18mm diameter). Doing research online, the most commonly recommended material was "organza fabric", which is very thin, strong, and most importantly mimics the flexibility of leather. This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0842WZB2H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you have any thin flexible fabric laying around, it should work. Just keep in mind that organza is super thin which is nice. If you use a material that is too thick, it may cause the area around your tear to appear stiffer than the rest of your jacket, and so you'll end up seeing an outline of the fabric. (4) A Q-Tip (5) Tape (e.g. masking tape) which is gentle, easy to remove, and does not leave residue. It will touch your leather, so make sure it's not too strong so it doesn't damage the leather when you remove it. (6) Acetone / Nail Polish Remover (not mandatory, but I HIGHLY recommend you keep it handy so you can either fix a mistake, but also it allows you to clean up your edges for a sharp/tight seam). (7) Scissors (to cut the organza fabric and to possibly trim the tear to clean it up if needed) (8) Toothpick Steps: (1) Protect the area surrounding your tear by putting masking tape. This is important because you don't want your glue to accidentally land on some other part of your jacket! (2) Get your organza (or other flexible, thin fabric) piece ready. Trim it to size if needed. Make sure it is bigger than the tear itself. Details: This piece is going to be a subpatch / "sub patch". The way jackets work is that on the outer side is the actual leather material, but on the opposite side of the leather (the side your body touches when you put it on) is a different type of flexible fabric that is not leather. That fabric is stitched/attached to the leather at various points on the jacket, but on a majority of the jacket it is not. What we DO NOT want to do is glue the leather to the fabric that came with the jacket. That's not how the jacket was originally designed, and doing so could cause you to tug on the leather when you move around because now the inside fabric will be glued to the leather. That's why we instead get a piece of organza fabric and use that as a subpatch which will serve as a substrate on which the glue will be applied, and then the torn leather will be glued to the subpatch. The subpatch is a meeting place for where the torn piece of the leather meets with the original untorn portion of the leather, and going forward will remain between the leather and the original inside fabric forever. The sub patch should NOT be glued to the inside fabric. It should only be glued to the leather. (3) Using the palette knife and a toothpick if needed (or even your fingers if the tear is big enough), gently slide the subpatch underneath the tear. In other words, stick the subpatch into the tear, and then flatten out the subpatch so that when you look through the hole/tear in your jacket, the only thing you see is the subpatch. (4) Open the loctite vinyl glue. DO NOT open it over your jacket. Open somewhere else to the side. When I opened it for the first time (where you have to pierce it using the cap), a little bit oozed out everywhere...good thing it wasn't over my jacket! Now, using your finger, a Q tip, and/or a toothpick (or whatever method you're comfortable with), gently apply a thin layer of the glue onto the subpatch. In other words, gently lift the tear to expose the subpatch that you placed underneath, and apply the glue. A thin layer is all you need. (5) Gently close the tear and press it onto the subpatch. Try to line up the tear as well as you can so the seam is as invisible as possible. If you want, you can add a tiny bit of the glue (super thin layer) directly over the seam to make it extra snug and secure. Then, apply a tiny bit of acetone (nail polish remover) on a q tip and do a few gentle, light strokes over the excess glue on the seam. This will clean up the excess glue so that only the glue that has fallen through the cracks between the seam will remain. (6) Optionally apply masking tape onto the tear itself so it doesn't accidentally open up again during the drying/curing process. I didn't end up doing this because by the time I finished steps 1-5 above, it was already stiff enough that I wasn't worried.. (7) Remember how I said that you DO NOT want the sub patch to be glued to the inside fabric of your jacket? Well, be sure to look on the inside of your jacket and make sure this isn't the case! The organza subpatch fabric is porous, so in my case some of the glue made it to the opposite side of the subpatch and caused it to adhere to the inside of my leather jacket. Good thing I had immediately checked, because the solution was super simple: I just put a bit of acetone on a Q-tip and rubbed it over the the inside fabric (from the inside of my jacket) where it was accidentally adhered. I gently rubbed and pulled until the subpatch was separated from the internal fabric. (8) Let the glue cure...Loctite's instructions recommend 24 hours. I waited about 18 hours before putting the jacket back on.... and it works great!

It worked for a little while on a blow up air mattress but sadly it didnt last long and I ended up throwing the mattress away. If its for something that doesnt have any pressure applied to it, it should work well.

Bought this to repair a vinyl strap on a vintage bag that cracked and was almost completely torn through. It seems to be working quite well. It is holding together pretty well. I really like that it is flexible since the strap needs to move freely. I read up and checked out many vinyl adhesives. There are so many out there. This one was rated well and seemed to fit my needs the best. I also stitched the strap because it was originally stitched and that came loose. I also ordered vinyl repair tape that has not arrived yet. I plan on putting this around the strap where I repaired it. The strap goes under a metal bar so it should be inconspicuous. The adhesive dried pretty close to clear but not entirely. I am hoping the combination of things that I am doing to repair this strap will give me confidence to use it without the fear of it breaking when in use. Wrote more than I probably needed to because I always read the reviews when I need help with trying to make a purchase that does not result in a waste of my money. This adhesive seems to be a great investment.

I bought this to adhere cardstock to my graduation cap and it worked almost immediately! It does come out pretty fast and I didn’t have a plan of how to put it on so it got a little messy but you can’t tell. If using for small projects like that, application might be easier if you use a small tool to apply the glue, however, it isn’t required. I just gently squeezed the tube around the edges and in the center before placing the cardstock and within five minutes I could already notice it adhering. So, if anyone needs a good durable fabric glue for their graduation cap - this is the one! My cap looks great and I can’t wait to wear it!

My cat scratched a small hole in the bottom of a nice air mattress and I didn't want to replace the whole thing. I searched around and am so happy I found this adhesive! It worked great. Dried fast, was easy to use with the squeeze tube, and 4 years later it is still holding up. I've also used this to fix tears in clothing, pool floats, and furniture. One coat is almost always enough, do not over do it. This stuff is strong so be careful and do not get any on your skin go slow!

Excellent and easy to use for gluing a vinyl doll outfit seam back together.

Perfect to repair the SUP ,hold pressure

Effectively stuck Velcro to vinyl. Will have to wait and see how the flexibility is after a period of time

served my purpose.

It works great! fast enough to hold on the patch and very strong after it dries completely.
