Hi, can you use this glue for "patches" on clothes? Will it stay on after washing? Thanks.

I would say definitley not....this is a clean up with water and soap...you will need to get a glue made for fabric, which I think Aleene's sells.....I have used Fabri-Tac by Beacon Adhesives, it is a permanent adhesive, which works well...hope this helps!

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

I wouldn't use it on fabrics. Its paint for metal wood plastic. If used in Fabrics i think it would dissolve or fade after washing. But you can try it Good luck

Yes. You can use it on clothing or other fabric, although if you are cleaning something delicate, I would try a spot-test too. That said, if something smells like rat pee, I guess there's no way to ruin it further. :-) Good luck!

Hi,I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.

I'm not sure. I wouldn't use it on my clothes because it has a really bad odor when you spray it and it might stay on your clothes. Again, I've never used it on any fabric. But, I bought Febreze Fabric Refresher. This eliminates odors on all kinds of fabric. I've been happy with it's results. You can read the details about it on Amazon.

You cannot use this on clothes. It is Not a soft label. I am a nurse and I use it to label blood tubes and specimens, which works well due to the plastic nature of the tape. It is more for hard or firm surfaces. Hope this helped.

These are not made for labeling clothing that will go through the wash. I use the labels you iron in or sew in for that. These work well for shoes, supply boxes, lunch boxes, etc. - pretty much any hard surface. I've taken these off items and reapplied them several times and they still stick when reapplied. Hope this helps!

The only thing i can say os that, i use them on mason jars and they did not leave any glue residue when i take them off so i dont think it can damage clothing

Hello, It seems to me it would even stick better to something that was already a little grippy. There is a version of the tape though that is extra strong and even washable designed for putting on clothes although I have never used it. Regarding this tape, I've used it to label containers and file folders but not something that would be frequently handled like a telephone.

Yes, I have applied it many times to shirts and even cotton tops and after washing it stays in place.

Yes, Pull the patch off a little more, Be Very carful with this Aleene's glue it is Very Runny. Squeeze out just enough, Once you glue right up to the Edge of the Patch Press firmly, It's better to put something Heavy on it. BEFORE it is Totally Dry, say about 15 minutes take some duck tape and dab at any excess that has escaped from the edge of the patch. then put your weight back and let it dry, a good 8 - 12 hours.

Absolutely. I used it a few weeks ago for bonding two pieces of fabric together. The seam will be a bit stiff though, FYI. Not any worse then any other glue gun, but I wouldn't recommend it for light flowy fabric.

I wouldn't recommend it for that. It's rather thick and stringy, I would try a spray adhesive, it would go on easily and it does have a good hold. Elmers has one, it's called craft bond.

I used it to decorate onesies, and although I tried to use this to attach felt pieces to cotton onesies, it definitely wasn't as durable as with other fabrics. The felt pieces didn't stick as well. However, it worked well enough to stick on, and then I just embroidered the edges and the felt pieces have stayed on.

This glue might ooze through the fabric. Something like this is made for that.3M Multi-Purpose 27 Spray Adhesive Clear, 20 fl oz can, net weight 13.05 oz (Pack of 1)

Due to an accidental test, I can say the adhesive on the back of the Velrco will stick to polyester fabric, but not permanently. It is not a strong bond. If you or the fabric/garment maker has used softeners or other addiditives on the fabric, that may effect the result. It is probably not a good application unless you do not need much adhesion. It is probably best to do one of the following: 1. Sew or clamp (studs, staples, etc..) the Velcro backing to the fabric 2. Put fabric glue on the fabric and let it cool or dry to create a better surface before sticking the Velcro on (I have not tried this) 3. Maybe using a heat gun or hot hair dryer after placing the adhesive backed velcro on the fabric might allow the Velcro adhesive to better permeate the fabric (I have not tried this either) This industrial Velcro is less flexible than normal Velro, so keep this design parameter in mind.

I think that it really depends on what kind of fabric. I love this tape but when you use it to stick fabric to fabric, sometimes it doesn't hold as well as you would like. I tried to use it temporarily for a pair of pants that needed to be rehemmed and it didn't hold as well as certain fabrics.
