Can I Use Hot Glue On Fabric
Olivia Luz
Hot glue works best with leathers and it can also be cut through if necessary.
We are often asked can glue guns be used on fabric the simple answer is yes but you will need to know a few things first about the type of glue gun and glue stick you are using. Before using hot glue put a dab on an inconspicuous part of the fabric. While the glue may extrude it can cause the gun to break and applying at the incorrect temperature will greatly reduce the strength of the bond. Once you find the right glue gun and glue stick hot melt is excellent at bonding fabric and other porous materials.
Be aware that high temperature hot glue can melt some fabrics like lace so use low heat when in doubt. Do not use a high temp hot glue stick in a low temp gun. If you only use hot glue plan to use it repeatedly as it does not stand up to the use a piece of furniture receives. Contact cement is an extremely strong chemical adhesive which can be too intense for many fabrics in your cosplay.
The hot glue holds the piping in place long enough for you to permanently secure it using staples.
