Yikes! I would not want to grow my food in Insulation as I work for a biodynamic/organic herb farm

One of the perceived benefits (generally) of this stuff is that it doesn't support organic growth of any type.

Hi EtezadkhahMy guess (and only guess based on odor) that the underlying epoxy is Hysol. I Googled on Hysol and did not find any solvent listed. I did read the other replies and while I have some absolute alcohol on hand (used to desolve shellac to make varnish) it is not all that easy to buy, illegal to sell in the state of Florida, they fear someone would drink it! Oh well. You have a tough problem. You can keep Googling on Hysol maybe there is a solvent for it some where. Maybe you can try "super glue" solvent. Just possible that this epoxy is designed to never let loose.Joe Hi EtezadkhahMy guess (and only guess based on odor) that the underlying epoxy is Hysol.

kind of a combination...not stringy if that is what you mean by "fiberous" but isn't powdery either..I like it a lot..I use it as worm bedding and also mix it with soil and other additives in my garden. I have heard of some folks using it straight up as seed starter as it retains moisture well..I haven't tried that yet but probably will this year. I recommend you buy a small amount and give it a try.

Hi there, this is quilting fabric. It might be better to find some high thread count sheets. That would keep the fibers in... Not sure this would. Hope this helps.

This glue is an excellent bonding agent, and it will bond cotton cord to metal, leather, and plastic. I have used it for about a year now in making kumihimo items and leather items with metal endcaps and it has held up very well. It dries extremely quickly and has no odor when dry ( usually about a minute), which is a plus. I have not washed anything glued with it, but I think if it just gets wet and is not soaked or washed, it will be fine. Also, a little bit goes a long way. I have used it to glue stones to a cabochon setting and that was also successful. This is my favorite go-to glue for jewelry-making. Hope this helps!

I just saw this question raised and contacted the company. They got back to me the very next day and directed me to this link: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Portals/11/Documents/Raw-Protein-Safety-Quick-Reference_2-7-14.pdfI will continue to use this product with confidence as I have been using it for years.

I called the company and they said; "No, these seeds are not to be ground! As you might know this is an affective fiber source and antioxidants as well. Add some seeds to a bit of warm water, in a glass, and let stand 15 minutes. What you'll then see is like a gelatin. A gelatin fiber substance will form around each seed. That said; one might want to separate consumption of Chia Seeds along with prescription medications and possibly supplements and herbs as well; as they would likely bind. You don't want to mix-in/ expose the seeds to High Heat cooking, etc,, as this will destroy the nutritional properties. Say you cook oats; then sprinkle some seeds on-top of the oats once you have placed the oats in your bowl. I personally cannot take the recommended tablespoon serving as these seeds are a highly effective fiber source, for me; I use just a small sprinkle once or twice weekly. btw/ this product is priced good [for organic] on Amazon. I intend to call the company again to ask if this is a GMO free product, but I doubt it.

Synthetic materials are A-OK. Just don't use this on natural fibers of any sort.

It smells really horrible! It would work but the smell is really going to bother you. I've had mine outside for months trying to air out the smell and it's not doing it. I bought this to wrap and tie brown paper packages and I am going back to the hemp cord/twine I had before. That would work really well for you actually. I am unsure of the ply. It appears more like garden tomato tying twine ply. Hope this helps!! TammyO

No. I have used this product for a number of years and have always had to supplement with hairspray. I finally went to the Crew site to learn more about their products. The site says that the defining paste has a "medium" hold. The fiber has a "strong" hold. I took the plunge and ordered the fiber. I am glad I did. It is exactly what I always needed and wanted. I have longer hair like you and would recommend the fiber.

what you are looking for is fiber fix. one time use stuff, epoxy embedded that cures quickly.

I just called the company customer service because I had the same question, and they said the inner lining of the hose is made of silica and the outer is made of nylon. This is not written anywhere on the packaging. He didn't have a manufacturer number to give me. He assured me that this is true. I wouldn't drink from it but if what he said is true, then it's probably ok for the veggie garden. Although it IS made in China...

I'm not sure since I haven't tied, "regular gelatin obtained from grass fed cows". If you sell the product I'll try it out. I like what collagen does for me.

This material is totally safe for growing veggies or anything else you are going to consume. What you want to stay away from is green treated timber as well as railroad ties. Both are saturated with heavy toxic chemicals that would leach into the soil, and thus become absorbed by anything that grows in close proximity...

It would be sad to tape or glue a nice, natural fiber rope. And, none of them will last as long as the rope -- especially if exposed to the weather.Google "Matthew Walker knot", "Wall and crown knot" or "Manrope knot" if you can have a small knob on the end of the rope. If not, try a "Whipping knot". All will hold up better and will look better, too.

I use Simple Green on the light stuff, but it sounds like you might need something more aggressive. Bleach maybe? Sorry I can't be of more assistance. This definitely makes the case for letting it dry completely before putting it away.
