Product Information
Full details
The Prym Textile Spray Adhesive is designed for crafters and home sewers looking for a quick and reliable way to hem garments and make repairs without traditional sewing. Its key benefit is providing a strong, machine-washable bond on various fabrics. A potential caveat is that it's a heat-activated adhesive, requiring an iron for permanent setting.

FAQs
How do I prepare the fabric before using the spray adhesive?
Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free from any dust, lint, or fabric softener residue. Ironing the fabric beforehand can also help create a smooth surface for application.
Can I use this on all types of fabric?
It is suitable for most common ironing fabrics like cotton, linen, and denim. For synthetic fabrics or very delicate materials, it's recommended to test on a small, hidden area first to ensure compatibility and prevent damage from heat.
How long does the bond last?
The bond is permanent once heat-activated and is machine washable up to 40°C, making it durable for everyday use and regular laundering.
What is the best way to apply the spray for an even finish?
Hold the can approximately 15-20 cm away from the fabric and use a steady, sweeping motion to apply a thin, even layer. Avoid overspraying in one spot.
How much adhesive should I use?
Apply a thin, even layer. Too much adhesive can seep through the fabric or make it stiff. The goal is to create a bond without saturating the material.
Can I reposition the fabric after applying the spray?
Once the fabric is joined and heat-set, the bond is permanent. It's best to position the fabric accurately before applying heat.
How should I clean the spray nozzle if it gets blocked?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant comes out. If it remains blocked, carefully use a pin or needle to clear the nozzle tip.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not sticking or bond is weak.
Ensure fabric is clean and dry. Allow adhesive to become tacky before joining fabrics. Increase iron temperature or pressing time slightly, ensuring fabric can withstand it. Check if fabric is compatible with heat.
Spray nozzle is clogged.
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle with propellant. If still clogged, gently clean the nozzle tip with a pin or needle.
Adhesive has transferred to the iron.
Ensure a pressing cloth or baking paper was used between the fabric and the iron. Clean the iron soleplate according to the iron manufacturer's instructions while the iron is warm.
Fabric appears stiff after application.
This is normal for some fabric types. The stiffness usually softens after the first wash. Try applying a thinner layer of adhesive for future applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free from dust or lint. Shake the spray can well before use.
Application: Hold the can approximately 15-20 cm from the fabric and spray a thin, even layer onto one surface. Allow the adhesive to become tacky (usually 1-2 minutes). Fold the fabric to create the desired shape (e.g., a hem).
Setting the Bond: Place a pressing cloth or baking paper over the fabric. Iron according to fabric care instructions, applying firm pressure for the recommended time (typically 10-15 seconds per section, increasing heat for thicker fabrics). Allow the bond to cool completely before further handling.
Compatibility: Suitable for most common ironing fabrics, including cotton, linen, denim, and blends. Test on a hidden area of delicate or synthetic fabrics before full application.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Clean the spray nozzle after each use by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges.
