Thank you for the information.If you are looking for some original Moire silk, check out ETSY , sometimes original vintage pieces are available , normally in France or Italy.
I managed to get a few yards of it a few years back for a project.
Squeeze the material with your fingers for about 30 seconds.Apply glue with what you have,toothpick,needle pin, etc.The side of the glue does not matter,because the glue becomes colorless.In the example in the photos I gave too much glue,but I wanted to show the moment of gluing.How do you apply it?
Needel, brush , toothpick ?
Do you apply it on the front or back of the cloth ?
Does it have to be pinned down as you apply the glue?
It costs little,but it gets the job done.https://www.ebay.pl/itm/334789070319Ahhhh….we see the super patience of the restorer once again! Well done Wojtek! I need to buy some of that glue!
The glue is strong,but it does not like water.It is probably not suitable for washing.Nice to know about that glue, I just ordered some too.
Is it strong Wojtek?
Great job as usual.
Steve thanks for the help. Let's see whether the glue finds its way to Singapore or not lol. Give it a week or two and they may still cancel my order. That's the problem of living in a small country that is just a dot on the world mapHi Amy, if you are having trouble I can send the glue to you no problems at all - a shop that sells it is about a mile from here. Let me know ,
Steve
Hi again WojtekThe glue is strong,but it does not like water.It is probably not suitable for washing.
Thank you beautifully for the information.I always prefer to be cautious with information before I check for myself if the product is good.From your message it seems that the glue is water resistant.Hi again Wojtek
As you know I bought some of that glue and did an experiment with regards to washing a t-shirt after I repaired it.....and then washed it again and it seems to be holding up just as well when I glued it.
Just thought I'd let you know seeing it was your good self that pointed me to the glue I needed, thank you again.
