You can usually apply fabric glue without doing anything special. If you use a stronger product though, you’ll want to prepare your work area. You can use old newspapers that you place on the ground to protect your floor. Those same papers can protect walls and any nearby furniture. It’s also important that you give the glue as much time as the manufacturer states to create a bond before you attempt to wash or move the item. If you use a product with strong smell or odor, you may want to open a window too. It’s also helpful to wear a mask over your nose and mouth. Tips for Cleaning Glue Spills If you read through the best fabric glues on the market, you probably noticed that some products were water-soluble while others were machine washable. Glues that are machine washable are safe to clean and wash in your own washing machine. The glue will not break down when exposed to water, which makes it a good choice for clothing that you wear every day and projects that you want to wash regularly such as new curtains or a seat cover. When creating a temporary bond that you’ll use in your sewing machine, you’ll want a water-soluble formula. This type of adhesive will wash away with that the addition of a little water. Choosing Glue Based on Finished Color

The best way to remove Fabri-Tac™ from most fabrics is by dry cleaning. However, sometimes that is not possible. You may use the following method:

The item has been added to your basket

Acetone is a FLAMMABLE solvent and should always be kept away from heat, open flames, lighted cigarettes and other sources of ignition. Keep bottle covered when not in use to prevent Fabri-Tac™ from evaporating. Lose the little red tip? Cover the bottle opening with plastic wrap and replace cap. DO NOT DIP THE GARMENT OR FABRIC INTO THE ACETONE! This will make the glue more difficult to remove and may permanently damage the fabric! NEVER use a dining room table or any finished surface as a work area as acetone will strip off the finish. Cover your work area with plastic or newspaper. It could be that not enough Fabri-Tac™ was applied. We also recommend pre-washing your fabric before applying Fabri-Tac™.

ALWAYS test first on a small, unseen area of the item to ensure that the acetone will not discolor or adversely affect the fabric. To prevent your Fabri-Tac™ from stringing, you can rub some Vaseline around the tip of the bottle. (Please refer to the above video on how to do this.) Some individuals may be sensitive to acetone’s smell. If you or anyone near you dislikes the smell, immediately discontinue the removal process.
