You saved me a ton of time and money. I’ve already tried 3 adhesives and none of them work. I was struggling to figure out a glue that would give me the hold and flexibility that I needed. But now I know exactly what I need. Thank you for taking the time out to create such a well edited review.

Sir, this is one of the only videos that I watched “thoroughly” without fast-forwarding or skipping. The content is of great use to me, as I will soon start custom-designing sneakers and applying embroidered patches on fabric. Thank you for taking the time to compare and test these products. “We” KZbinrs can all relate on how challenging it may be to edit such a video. Kudos!!! 👍👍👍

Thanks for doing a wash and dry test. Would have been kind of pointless without.

[@glennr9913]

I've never seen anyone use glue without spreading it. Increasing the contact area would improve the results for all of them.

[@999bryce]

Thank YOU much for this video! U saved me money and a headache. I appreciate that the video was straight to the point without any gimmicks. I also really value the fact that you used more than one fabric! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! (I'm going to try speed-sew btw :))

[@jente74]

I live in Norway, and we probably don't have the products in your video but you have given me some idea of how strong fabric glue can be. Thank you!

[@denisenewton1510]

What you did wrong with majority of the glues were you used too much it's not meant for you to use that much glue and one little small area it would take even longer for it to dry if you use that much I use this glue all the time the only one I don't use is the Elmer's glue but I've used all the rest of them

[@jibreelsadoun4990]

Do you recommend any specific brand over the others?

[@Kinnup7]

Speed Sew is now my choice. Thanks.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! As previously stated, I watched this review straight through without skipping. Your review is a valuable necessities in my life. My lineage maternal maiden name is Schneider, meaning Tailor and it held true down the family line until I was born.

Testing polyester would have been useful to many more situations than suede or leather. Most dresses and skirts are at least a polyester blend. Seeing that (what I need to know) would have been great! Thanks anyway for what you did test.

No problem, let me know how it goes!

This is great! I'm leaning towards the Speed Sew or Fabric Fusion for gluing velcro strips on a white polyester, (more sheer than I had hoped), fabric. Looking for the one that does not bleed through and is not stiff. Which one would you say checks both boxes the best? Thank you🙂

[@eoc604]

I would say fabric fusion would work best for you

[@user-lm8ki7vf1p]

Would like to echo how good this video was. Would like to add a catagory for flexibility after washing and drying. Since most of these fabrics are for wearing on the body I need the product to stay comfortable (flexible) for the wearer. Again wonderful video

[@eoc604]

I’ll keep that in mind for my next video!

[@deevargas5236]

Excellent! Thanks

[@Thanks4yourattention]

Gorilla has some different steps as far as time before attaching and add pressure or weight while drying.

[@souluvlai]

Were the directions read to give the product the best chance to show how it works effectively? It looked like too much glue was used to dry properly against the fabric… to adhere

[@Amzie-kx1xr]

Thank you!

[@Thanks4yourattention]

Oh and never ever ever forget to wrap( the ones with serioues chemicals all) opening with cap on with at least 3feet of plastic wrap.and store in freezer.

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

Maybe try some synthetic fabrics. I have a bike helmet liner that I believe is made from polyester or polypropylene. I have used Fabric Fusion on another liner before which did not work very well. I will try Speed Sew this time. Strong chemical smells really irritate my eyes, so I avoid those type products, but want something that works.

Which glue used in Nonwoven Agriculture fabric to joint, how ..

E6000 is WAY overkill. That is the stuff they use to glue diamonds into their settings.

[@user-uz2ix5mr6c]

Did you know if e6000 can be used on polyester and nylon as a glue ?

[@willhaslem]

E6000 is the truth. Wish that smell wasnt there. I bet the "6000" means the amount of minutes for that smell to go away. Seems about right too.

[@LL-ue5vg]

I bought E6000 and now I want to return it because of the supposed high toxicity. I haven’t opened it yet as Im worried about using it on fabric used to make dolls for children. I guess any product that sticks, is clear and remains flexible will be toxic.:(

E6000 is also very smelly! Very strong odor. I threw mine out.

[@user-uz2ix5mr6c]

Why don't you use synthetic fabrics in the test ? Most clothes are made of polyesther , polyurethane, nylon ...it would be interesting to be able to repair them because it would prevent them from being thrown away, which is not really environmental.

Fabric fashion is good if you use too much it will stain as well,

Could I also use Aleenes original tacky glue on fabrics like cotton and Denim?

Most “denim” IS cotton, so the denim test just duplicates the “cotton” test. Should have tested a common synthetic fabric like polyester.

[@CnithTheOnliestOne]

Were you paid by fabric fusion? Lol I have that one and other than the smell, everything else was wrong. It doesn't do crap about holding any kind of fabric. The only thing I could use it for was paper because it doesn't even do clay or glass or anything!

Tear mender is the best in my opinion

Just posted a new video on my channel comparing Tear Mender and Speed-Sew!

[@nowthenad3286]

Honestly, I don't really care if it sticks in just 5 minutes, when comparing with a glue that needs 24 hours to glue. Either compare them at 5 minutes or compare them at 24 hours.

I was following the instructions on the tubes!

[@lost70s]

I like the way you put it together LOL it did me no good .. looking for how these types of glue will work on nylon .. synthetics are harder to adhere to

@@eoc604 thanks I have not used - might look at it ... I have used shoe Goo and that shit is good . Not real playable - I mended nylon to nylon on Desert combat boots and it's still holding after a couple years .. so ?/ was just looking for other glues - one person somewhere talked about hot glue with nylon. I thought .. bullshit .... well I was right .. Kinda .. I tested it yesterday ... glued 2 pieces then into a vise ... it held kinda I pulled them apart by hand but it did stick .. would not bet my life on it though .. thanks Duncan

Are these glue wash resistant?

[@eoc604]

Yes, they are all washable!

What about flexibiity?

I mention the flexibility of some of the glues in the video starting at 3:48

[@Thanks4yourattention]

What about for buttons? Obviously this is for the no -sew guy.

[@johneladrid9424]

That is not how you use glue. You have to spread them evenly for you to see the best result.

[@Thanks4yourattention]

And some you add a weight

[@paddyfinnegan134]

I think these are pretty poor tests, and the results are largely invalid, unfortunately, although I absolutely support the idea of testing products and publicising the results. Most manufacturers of fabric glues present instructions for the user to spread the material over the fabric thinly with a spatula. Some specify that the bond should be weighted or supported with clothes pegs or some form of clamp while setting. The instructions often say that a thin layer will adhere far better than a thick one, In these tests a thick splodge was squirted onto the fabrics which were then just folded over and left. No spreading, no pressure applied, no reference to the manufacturer's guidelines. I wouldn't dream of using a fabric glue in this way, and the results do not represent "proper" use. I would be delighted if you presented these tests again, this time following the instructions on how to get best results out of each material.

[@LowQualityCheese]

Do you have a recommended brand for glueing part of a white tee shirt onto a blank white shirt?

[@elizabethburns945]

Are you putting too much on?

This video was made to test and compare the glues but for actually application on fabric I would suggest using less

[@gainzwillbemade9890]

Fabric fusion so trash i pull the embroidered patches right off after letting it set for 2 days 😂😂😂

[@eoc604]

Generally fabric glues will not work on embroidered patches as the glue needs a porous material to adhere with.

[@rexwine]

Way too much glue to dry in 5 minutes. Or spread it out first.
