The best glue for patching footbags?

Post by **Zac Miley** » 07 Nov 2006 16:06

I'm getting to the point where I need to start patching some holes in my bags, which glue do you think is best, or should I get some of that tape from the KFM?

Thanks everyone!

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Barge Cement is what i and many people use
Its probably the thinest glue i know of.
Its really light and thin too
Just try it and im 100% you will like it over other glues or patch tape

The tape is in a greenish tube with a bear or something on it
I found my glue at Ace hardware
Good luck

Wow, thanks for the fast replies!

I'll check out that glue probably this weekend.

If I don't like it I'll be sure to hit up the KFM.

Thanks again guys!

Luis Monhollon uses elmers fabric glue called stix all or something. It is a trick he supposedly picked up from Lon Smith and he is a man that knows about footbag.

Yeah, I'll check out both of those glues just so I don't have to deal with shipping and shit.

If I don't like them I'm definitely getting some tape.

What's up with the triple and quintuple posts, man?

Tear Mender works great.
Put a little on a toothpick, and spread it over the hole in small amounts.
Dries quickly, and is flexible.
It's also meant for fabric.
You can find it any wallgreens, and probably osco, or cvs or whatever you have near you.

barge cement is the best - you can apply a thin layer and it will last as long as facile as well as mimic the texture of the facile

What do you guys recommend in repairing Cuddlebaggies with? I don't really have a glue that's sufficient enough to patch up holes on Cuddlebaggies, which are pretty 'furry' in a way. The cement glue I use for Mr. Sandbags doesn't apply well on this type of fabric.

Also, patching tape just peels off quickly on these bags.

Any suggestions?

Patching tape shouldn't peel off as long as you've washed and dried the cuddlebag first before applying the tape. I think the problem is you need a cleaner, slightly more worn surface for the tape to stick on a cuddlebag. Stick the cuddlebag in a sock and wash and dry it with your laundry. It should be patchable afterwards. We've got a few cuddles with bandaids on them that have stuck.

Pretty aggressive ones, I guess.

I guess I should change my soap for washing bags. I've been trying to use this nice 3rd party shampoo that works wonders on facile bags, but not so much on Cuddlebaggies for some reason. It just makes them furrier after wash.

Laundry sounds wonderful too. I should find a large white sock used exclusively for washing bags.

I'm sure it's Elmer's Stix All Glue. It's perfect.

Staples carries it.

It's $3.99 plus tax.

It looks like a small toothpaste.

It's seethrough.

It's soft and bendy.

It can go through the washingmachine.

It lasts.
