Fabric Glue


Recommended Posts

I needed access to some internal fixings on my MiniMax, & had to cut a 4" circular access hole through the 1.8oz dacron to do so. I won't need to get to these again, so need to re-cover the hole.

 

I have spare fabric, but no glue. The surface I need to bond to is cured 'latex' (acrylic) paint. Can anyone suggest what type of adhesive i could use to bond a circular patch over the access hole? It's on the underside of the rear fuselage, so not in critical airflow area. And I don't want to buy a big tin of Polyfiber glue, due to high cost of shipping.

 

Thanks in advance

I have used PVC pipe cement - obtainable from hardware stores - made by Marley from memory. It dilutes with MEK just like the fabric cement and works well. I'm no chemist, but it seems to have the same properties. No doubt the purists would frown on it, but for a patch I'm sure it would be ok.
