Use Fabric Fusion sparingly – too much adhesive will slow the drying process and over-saturate the fabric, which weakens the adhesion.

Tips for Using Fabric Fusion

To avoid oversaturation, try brushing on a thin layer of Fabric Fusion when adhering lighter fabrics to fabric, then lightly press together.

Tips for Using Fabric Fusion

Use clothespins or sewing pins to help keep fabrics and embellishments pressed together while the glue dries. Remove once dry.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i hem pants that are too long? Do i need to press sfter i glue. They are coruroy. 2 pairs
Answer:	Yes, you can use this for hemming. If you have any further inquiries, please contact Aleene's at [email protected] or call 1-800-438-6226.
Question:	Does this work on stretch velvet
Answer:	This will not work on velvet. If you have any further inquiries, please contact Aleene's at [email protected] or call 1-888-345-0764.
Question:	I've used fabric glues that get very thin if not used for a week or two. Is this a problem with this product
Answer:	No, this should not occur with this product. If you have any further inquiries, please contact Aleene's at [email protected] or call 1-888-345-0764.
Question:	How much area will one bottle 8oz cover? I want to replace the headliner in my truck which has an area of approximately 12 square feet
Answer:	Just a guesstimate, but I think 1 to 2 bottles would suffice. A thin straight bead along the edges and a thin zig zag pattern (don't go overboard) throughout the remainder should do the trick. Don't think you have to have every inch of the surface to be covered. After drying it "should have a uniform effect" I've only used this product on a small area, but I've done similar repairs with other adhesives (not fabric) and it does the trick.

User questions & answers

Question:	Im looking for best way to glue rhinestones and gems permanently to wedding dresses as arthitis prevents me from sewing that many as i used to
Answer:	This would be a wonderful glue for your rhinestone application.
Question:	I have a beautiful antique glass look up broken what does glue help glue that glass back together
Answer:	I would look for a different glue for your application. This is more for fabrics.
Question:	HOW long does it take to be set
Answer:	It doesn’t take long to set, about 30 minutes, depending on the weight of the fabric. When glueing a heavy weight fleece robe pocket back in place it worked in between two layers but not where pocket hem was double layer. Dried in about 20 minutes but held together well even quicker@ about 5 minutes.
Question:	Would this be strong enough to fix a large hole with a patch in a bounce house, the fabric type
Answer:	I think so. I use it for almost everything I need glue for. I used this to glue down a floor tile once and a friend used it to make a leather dress instead of sewing. I recommend laying the area where you are putting the patch as flat as possible and setting something flat and semi-heavy (a stack of books, etc) on top of it while it dries overnight.

Question:	making lace embroidery bells. they are in six sections and need to be glued together. will this glue work or do I need somehting different
Answer:	It certainly worked for my application, glueing two pieces of cloth together. I will tell you to apply lightly too much and excess will stain. Hope that helps.
Question:	Does it stick to glass
Answer:	Do you mean does it stick glass objects to fabric? Yes it does you just ha e to make sure you set the object in a glob of the glue.... meaning when you place the object on the fabric and push down, glue should come up around the edges of said object if this does not happen the when the glue dries there will be no seal around said object and when the material folds or bends the object could just peel right off.
Question:	Can i use it to line satin in my hats

Answer:	They seem to be slightly thicker than the jersey gloves I have purchased at the local farm supply store in the past. They do not shrink when washed.

Today, Tear Mender continues to provide the same flexible, permanent bond and is widely used for a multitude of tasks from garment care to crafts. In 2015, Lighthouse for the Blind, a 501(c)3 non-profit, acquired the assets of Tear Mender to further grow their mission of providing employment for individuals who are blind. The Tear Mender product line is filled, packaged and shipped by employees who are visually impaired.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it dry clear? I want to fix snake leather tear on the shoe. Will it stay? If not, any other products to suggest
Answer:	It depends, on dark fabric it does not dry clear. I am not sure if it will fix a snake leather tear in a shoe - not sure if it would be be tough enough and flexible enough for that application.
Question:	Assuming the the top is closed properly, does it dry out if used infrequently
Answer:	We bought a set of this after seeing a commercial about it a couple years ago - it was a three pack, I think. I large, medium, and small one. We bought it as a "just in case" item and I have rarely had to use it - it works wonderfully. It's tricky though - and seeps through fabric so I would apply with a quick, light touch. It dries fast, too - a bit too fast for my. Anyway/// I hadn't used it in a while, but last year I needed to use it a couple of times on some fabric I was crafting with. The first time I tried to use it - nothing came out. I shook the bottle, but heard little movement and when I opened the cap I was disappointed to see that it had dried up - there was a thick skin inside. I thought I might go ahead and just use the bottle for something else so started to pull the thick, strong skin out and realized there was still some liquid on the inside (as it splashed on my hands while I was pulling at the glue skin). Once I was able to wiggle the dried skin out - there was some glue in the bottle and it was usable. After that I closed the cap and put it back on the shelf. The second time I needed it again - months later - the same thing - there was a glue skin covering the inside of the bottle that I had to remove and then there was some fluid glue on the inside that I could use normally. I was disappointed about that thick skin developing each time. I'm not sure how much of the glue is hardening each time, but it's enough to know I probably am losing a lot of this expensive glue just because it's drying in the bottle. I'm afraid to go look into the LARGE and MEDIUM UNUSED bottles that have just been on the shelf! Again, the product works a dream once you figure out how to handle it. Shame that it skins in the bottle though - hoping I didn't waste a ton of money. This may be something bought one small bottle at a time, on sale - unless you have a definite need for it.
Question:	Will it work to repair Muck boots
Answer:	I think it depends on what parts of the muck boot. This product is primarily intended for adhering porous and semi-porous materials together, like fabric and leather. I really question its strength with smooth plastics, especially under stress.
Question:	would it work well for putting a woven sports patch on a jacket
Answer:	Yes, I think so if the jacket is cloth and not vinyl or leather. It works well if it can "grab" something to adhere to and it "grabs" cloth well. Remember, though, that it may slightly discolor fabric so keep the TM under the patch and don't allow it to bleed out from under it. Use a small amount at first and add to it if you need more.

Answer:	This 3M product stays tacky for a long time. I have used other 3M spray adhesives that are better. I am not too happy with this particular one.
Question:	I’m interested in the tube of liquid glue not the sheets..why are there questions about the double sided stick on sheets? Now I’m confused if I’m buyi
Answer:	IT should work fine as long as the adhesive doesn't react with the foam, which I don't think it will. I'd lay the adhesive on a little heavy so that you'll have a smoother surface which will
Question:	Has anyone used to secure yarn ends for a crochet or knitting project, like an afghan or sweater? Can it be used on any type of yarn

Visbella

Due to the new formulation issues, the glue is watery and you only need a very small amount so it doesn’t seep through the clothing otherwise the glue will show a little bit on your cloth.

After you squeeze the glue on the fabric, wait patiently for the glue to dry.

Please do not open the fabric to check the bonding effect before drying, otherwise the glue will evaporate in the air and fail.

PS：Don't wash fabric in 24 hours, if the glue is used too much at one time and does not dry, please wait 48 hours before washing.
