Product Information
Full details
The Prym Temporary Spray Adhesive is designed for sewers and crafters who need to temporarily hold fabrics in place before or during stitching. Its key benefit is providing a strong yet washable bond that easily detaches and rinses out, preventing needles from getting gummed up. A minor caveat is that it should be used in a well-ventilated area due to its spray nature.

FAQs

The bond is designed to be temporary and hold fabrics until you are ready to sew and wash. It is not intended for long-term adhesion without sewing.
Can this adhesive be used on paper or other materials?
This product is specifically formulated for use with fabrics. It is not recommended for use on paper or other materials as results may vary and damage could occur.
Is the adhesive safe for children's clothing?
Yes, the adhesive is acid-free, odorless, and washable, making it generally safe for use on children's clothing when applied according to instructions and washed out after sewing.
How do I remove the adhesive completely?
The adhesive is designed to be completely washable with water. Follow standard fabric washing instructions for the materials you have used it on.
What is the shelf life of the spray adhesive?
Prym recommends using the product within a reasonable timeframe after purchase and storing it properly. Refer to the can for any specific manufacturing or expiry dates if provided.
Can I iron the fabric after using the spray?
It is best to wash out the adhesive before ironing, especially at higher temperatures, to ensure no residue affects the iron or fabric.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not spraying properly
Ensure the can is adequately shaken. Check if the nozzle is clogged; if so, clean it according to the care instructions.
Fabric not sticking
Apply the spray from the recommended distance and ensure an even layer. Allow the spray to become tacky before joining fabrics. Ensure the fabric surface is clean and dry.
Residue left after washing
Ensure thorough washing according to fabric care instructions. For persistent minor residue, a gentle wash cycle or spot cleaning might be necessary. Re-testing on a scrap piece is advisable.
Uneven spray pattern
Shake the can vigorously before and during use. Adjust the spray distance and angle for a more uniform application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fabric is clean and dry before application. Shake the can well before use. Hold the can approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) away from the fabric and spray a thin, even layer onto one of the surfaces to be joined. Allow the spray to become tacky for a short period (refer to product instructions for exact drying time) before pressing the fabric pieces together.
Compatibility: This adhesive is designed for use with most common sewing fabrics. It is acid-free and generally safe for cotton, polyester blends, linen, and silk. Always test on an inconspicuous area of delicate or specialty fabrics first to ensure compatibility and to check for any unwanted reactions.
Care: Store the spray can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the nozzle is clean after each use by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly until only clear propellant emerges. Keep out of reach of children.
