Aleene's Stop Fraying Fabric Glue, Permanent Adhesive, 2 fl oz

What I needed.

I use this on the edge of patches for my patch jacket. It's super easy to use-- I put nitrile gloves on, put a bead on a fingertip, and lightly run around the perimeter of the patch, before "pinching" the edges to work it in. It dries clear, if you keep it thin-- I use it on black patches, and it's not noticable at all. Durable and easy to sew through, if you get a bit too far into the patch, and holds up to washing. Great value for how much you get!

This stuff is almost as thick as Elmer's Glue or Mod Podge. I bought it as a replacement for Fray Check, since it's much cheaper and you get more. It can be used instead of Fray Check to do the same thing, but it takes some getting used to. You can't apply it directly to the fabric because it tends to dump too much out all at once and it's thick enough that it will just sit on top of the fabric, but if you squeeze some onto a scrap of paper, you can use your finger to smooth it onto the edge of the fabric. It's white while wet but dries clear. One advantage is that it is much more flexible than Fray Check. Also, since it doesn't wick into the fabric like Fray Check, you don't risk it bleeding into an area that will show. As with Fray Check, some fabrics look wet or water stained where you have applied the glue, even after it dries. It dries quickly - not as fast as super glue, but about as fast as Fray-Check when applied at the same thickness. It doesn't soak all the way through thicker fabrics which is nice. It lost one star because the bottle doesn't dispense as precisely as I would like, but overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Good stuff. I used it to repair a patio umbrellas canopy where the rib tore through the canvas. Goes on white and dries clear. I shot it with a hair dryer to speed the drying process. I won't know until next summer if it improves the durability and can confirm rain-waterproof-ness.

I bought this to stop the fraying of fabric I made bistro chair seats with as it's just stapled to the bottom with a wood base. It's kind of like Elmer's glue but it will do the job and hopefully last a few years.

You MUST check this on your fabric, it doesn’t always dry clear or smooth. It is more of a glue than just a thin adhesive to stop fraying on delicate fabrics. It is NOT suitable for delicate fabrics (sheers, chiffon, silks, tulle, etc). The texture is similar to white glue and has the same texture and properties, but once it’s on something, it will NEVER come off. So definitely durable! It’s a great product, you just have to be sure that you are using it on the right fabric and understand how it will look and perform. ALWAYS check your fabric before committing to sticking it on a final project.

My go to for sealing embroidery

I use this stuff on my raw edge jeans and when I make cut off shorts. It’s a little rubbery when it dries but has held up in the wash and keeps denim from fraying further.

Ne colle pas très bien laisse des traces blanches. Je l’utilise très peu

Bottle was smaller than I expected, but it works well.

Funkar som förväntat för att hindra att kanter fransar sig

Alles super. Danke.

works really well keeps bandages from fraying
