FAQs

Can I use Bostik Fabric Glue on all types of fabrics?

No, it's not suitable for all fabrics. Avoid using it on 100% polyester or nylon. Always test on a small area first.

Is the glue safe to iron?

Yes, it is iron-safe. However, use the appropriate heat settings for the fabric to avoid damage.

How should I clean up any glue spills?

Clean up spills immediately with water and a soft cloth while the glue is still wet. Dried glue can be more difficult to remove.

How long does it take for the glue to dry?

The glue dries quickly, but the exact drying time can vary depending on the fabric and environmental conditions. It is best to allow it to dry completely, usually a few hours, before washing or ironing.

What if the bond isn't strong enough?

Ensure proper surface preparation and apply a sufficient amount of glue. Allow for complete drying. If the bond is still weak, reapply the glue and allow it to dry fully.

Can the glue be used for hemming?

Yes, it is ideal for hemming various fabrics. Simply apply the glue to the hem and press firmly.

What is the shelf life of Bostik Fabric Glue?

Shelf life can vary. Store in a cool, dry place and check the product for an expiration date. Properly stored, the glue should last for a considerable amount of time.

Troubleshooting

Glue is not adhering properly.

Ensure both fabric surfaces are clean and dry. Apply a thin, even layer of glue and press firmly.

Glue has stained the fabric.

Test the glue on a hidden area first. If staining occurs, try removing the glue with water and a soft cloth immediately.

The bond is weak after washing.

Ensure the glue is fully dried before washing. If the problem persists, apply more glue and allow a longer drying time.
