Fabric glue: Here’s what you need to know
Bye-bye rips, tears, and holes. Hello simplicity: Fix fabrics and other materials easily with fabric glue.
Slipping on those trusty pair of jeans and discovering a nasty rip in the seams? Unfolding your favorite beach umbrella only to find an unsightly tear? Fear not, as these materials can be easily fixed without breaking out the needle and thread. Just use fabric glue.
Fabric glue is a liquid adhesive specifically formulated for repairing and mending flexible materials such as vinyl seats, cushions, clothing, tarps, and outdoor gear. Since it is flexible, it is ideal for use on those materials that are constantly bending, stretching, and changing positions.
This adhesive is not limited to just those types of materials. You can also use the same glue to repair glass, metal, ceramic, leather, wood, and more. If your pool or beach accessories are ripped, this will fix them. Ditto for your raincoat and camping gear. It will not go brittle with age or exposure to sunlight either. Once it’s done, it’s done.

For any spills or drops, use acetone if the adhesive is still liquid and the fabric is not too sensitive. If the adhesive has started to cure, put the garment into cold water and let it soak overnight. Then use a flat-bladed knife to scrape off excess glue. Repeat these two steps until all residue has come off.
