I use contact cement and find that using the can and a brush is waaay better! After applying it to both surfaces thinly (but evenly) with the brush, I let mine dry mostly and then just place the foam FLAT onto the back of the material on a flat surface. Absolutely no texture and a great bond! You can even apply it to the edges and the back and just stretch the excess fabric over the edges, and it works great. Weldwood is the best one to use! I have also used rubber cement by Elmer’s, it also comes with a brush!
I have used contact cement like that as well, it does work but it really depends on the fabric. I have had problems with thinner fabrics and light fabrics going yellow or bleeding. For me it is quite difficult to apply to the fabric side evenly (I don't think we have the brand you recommended here) Also the fumes are soooo strong I try to keep it to a minimum because of the cats. It does work! But you would be surprised, the Beacon fabric glue works so much faster and you need less amount, just on one side. Game changer. As long as I don't need to do a huge section (like Ganyu) I use the fabric glue most of the time.
This is amazing! And couldn't have been more perfect timeing. I was struggling to find a glue to help me with my fabric and foam peice. Thank you so much for doing so much hard work and letting us see the results
I wouldn't have guessed the double sided tape was the best solution. It does seem rather practical and effective for the application now that you mention it though. I don't have much experience with many glues, but I remember using E6000 a few years back, it works good enough on plastic miniatures, but I got quite the headache and lightheaded from the fumes, so I realize I need to be careful with it.
For tacky glue to work right you have to put glue on both things you want to glue together, let it get clear and THEN stick them together. Then you have to wait a full day to make sure it fully sets. It’s not the strongest glue but when you do it correctly, it’s pretty good.
I think anything from the hardware store is better than the discounted store ones. Mainly you know because of the price. Mine is from Amazon, just wrote strong double sided tape 😁 I Currently use it together with fabric glue for the back (which is stronger)
Thanks. Some good information is presented here. So what adhesive would you suggest trying in order to get permanent adhesion of a mesh fabric to plastic or foam so that the look of the mesh is not altered?
I think that depends more on the mesh you are using and how good you are at hiding that glue and what you are doing with the fabric edges. If you are covering the whole piece I would still use fabric glue hidden at the back of the piece. I am assuming you can stretch the fabric on top of the foam, you may not if it is too wide. You will for sure need to decide first how you are hiding the edges of the fabric as they will fray if not covered. This is a matter of skill, more than glue choices. Fabric glue is your best best as it is transparent and dries quickly.
It depends on the shape to cover, I personally think fabric glue should be good, but I pfefer the tape method and fabric glue at the back to reinforce it. Also, you can use spray glue but I personally don't like it as it is pricey, messy and toxic and some brands will show through anyway. In any case you will need to test it, different materials and brands different results 😅
I'm trying to reattach a rubbery fabric to a sponge foam pad that's dense kinda between a memory foam and sponge foam. It's a comfort pad for a work belt. Not sure what kind of glue to use for that?
He usado harto la cinta doble faz! para mi cosplay de Star Guardian Soraka me funcionó perfecto para después coserla y que no se moviera. Muy buen video! a veces una opción es pegar tela a la goma eva así que es genial ver los diferentes productos que se pueden usar!
Yo los he usado todos o casi en el pasado. Todo depende del proyecto y de lo que tenga a mano. Me alegra que te gustara. A veces las soluciones más sencillas son las mejores.
That depends on what you glue to the satin and what use you give it. I use E6000 or fabric glue for rhinestones or details. Any glue may soak the fabric and potentially be visible. You may want to test it
If the neoprene stretches, you are going to need to sew it. You can try fabric glue or E6000 but probably it won't last long. I'm afraid you will need to test it
I do tell you, most work but have pros and cons. I do also say my favourite method is the double sided tape but I recommend to use fabric glue at the back

I'm glad it was useful!

You need to be careful with most glues! The double sided tape is a nice trick 😉
@@AliceinCosplayland Yeah I definitely learned my lesson with that one. 😅 But yeah, sometimes the simple solutions are the most clever, keep it up. 🙂

Will have to try it! I have never used tacky glue like that, I do that with contact cement. Thanks for the tip 😁
You have no idea how much I needed this comment! I'm struggling with fabric, foam and tacky glue to make scales and this works perfectly. Thank you!
Thank you for explaining on what glue to use on fabric
You are welcome 😊
Thank you! Well done! I go for number 2. The application I do is for moving area.
They all work, it depends on what you need!
This is going to be VERY handy for future school projects/costumes! Cheers! :)
It really is! A bit messy but super cool
How do you find double sided tape that you'd know is strong? Let's say if you were looking it up on amazon what would you write?

@@AliceinCosplayland gotcha, thank you!

I need to glue crushed velvet to eva foam. What glue do you recommend to use that won't show through the crushed velvet?

I have no idea, I'm afraid you will have to experiment with it, you have a lot of ideas in the video to try 🤷♀️

What is the best glue for satin material that’s washable and doesn’t stain the material?
That depends on what you glue to the satin and what use you give it. I use E6000 or fabric glue for rhinestones or details. Any glue may soak the fabric and potentially be visible. You may want to test it
Where do you get this foam from?
This one in particular is from a craft store around the corner. For big orders I usually get it from polyprops or tyges Supplies. I live in the UK
do you know how to make a headliner material for an automobile?
I'm sorry, that's a bit out of my expertise 😅
Ahh I've used the E6000 Glue before. though at one point i stopped using it for awhile and it started to harden.. xD
Like any other glue! If you don't use them they will dry eventually
What about fabric to neoprene?
If the neoprene stretches, you are going to need to sew it. You can try fabric glue or E6000 but probably it won't last long. I'm afraid you will need to test it
why did bro not just tell us in conclusion which one was best im so impatient cuz if my adhd
I do tell you, most work but have pros and cons. I do also say my favourite method is the double sided tape but I recommend to use fabric glue at the back
Anybody we need conclusion
It's a matter of preference 😊 But this is how I decided to do it ua-cam.com/video/BYhK1e9zCm8/v-deo.html
