Vinyl Vase Adhesive


Here I am experimenting with a product called Vynabond. It works pretty well. It might be the same adhesive as the one by LePage that I blogged about earlier. The prototype vase here is designed so that it will stand up on its own when filled with water. Now to come up with some variations on the vase design.

Update: well, I have hit a roadblock. I think I might need some expensive seam sealer device because I can't get the glue on the edges just right to avoid leaks. Maybe I'll revisit this project again sometime.

Vinyl Adhesive


Sewing appliques is time consuming, especially since my 1948 Singer does not have a backstitch. Lots of turning. I wanted to find an adhesive that would work for vinyl to vinyl applications on wallets, purses, and my soap totes.


At my local big box hardware store I found Lepage Flexible Plastic Adhesive. Works great, have to be careful not to get it on to the outer dyed surfaces because it removes the finish. Can't wait to make a wallet and field test it. When you try to pull it apart it leaves the outer vinyl layer so that you can see the inner mesh of the banner. Also works for vinyl on glass. So you could use it to stick vinyl letters to glazed tiles. Ha! now I can put "flush" onto the toilet tank!
