Clear Flexible Fabric Glue
A versatile, water-based fabric adhesive designed for clothing repairs, craft projects, and soft furnishings. It forms a strong, long-lasting, flexible bond on most porous fabrics and dries clear in thin films for a neat, professional finish. Once fully cured, the bond is machine washable, can be tumble dried, and is safe to iron.
Key Features
Permanent, flexible bond for clothing and crafts
Water-based, low odour formula
Dries clear in thin applications
Machine washable and tumble-dry compatible after full cure
Heat resistant—safe to iron over the bonded area
Easy squeeze application; cleans up with warm soapy water while wet
Ideal Uses
Hems, trouser turn-ups, and pocket repairs

Securing frayed lace ends and trims
Curtain hems and decorative soft furnishing accents
General fabric repairs on cotton, denim, linen, felt, leather and similar porous textiles
Directions
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. At least one surface must be porous.
Test first: Trial on an off-cut or hidden area, especially with light or open-weave fabrics.
Apply: Spread a thin, even layer to the non-visible side or back of the fabric. Join parts and press for several seconds.
Initial handling: Light handling is typically possible after about 1 minute; avoid stressing the bond.
Optional set boost: For improved bonding, gently iron-press ~5 minutes after gluing (use a pressing cloth).
Full cure: Reaches full effective strength after 24 hours. After curing, the item may be machine washed, tumble dried, and ironed.
Clean-Up
While wet: Wipe away with warm, soapy water; repeat if needed, rinse and dry.
When dry on smooth, non-porous surfaces: Gently rub off or use warm, soapy water.
When dry on fabrics: Difficult to remove—prevent excess and work carefully.
Compatibility & Notes
Best on porous textiles: cotton, denim, linen, felt, leather, and similar materials.
Not suitable for non-porous materials or 100% nylon/polyester fabrics.
Avoid heavy application or excessive pressure on light or open-weave fabrics to minimise show-through or darkening.
