E-6000 plus denim makes a patch on jeans (lemmy.world)

I just wanted to say, in case you didn't know, that E-6000 can glue a patch of denim to a pair of jeans well enough to survive the washing machine and heavy use.

I cut up one old pair of jeans to patch several other old pairs of jeans. One bead of glue around the edge of the patch, one bead around the edge of the hole I'm patching. Some wax paper made sure I only glued what I wanted to glue, and a stack of books on top of the patch for a few days let it cure in place.

They've survived several months of regular washing, as well as working outside with no issues.

Unless you hold your fingers together with pressure for more than a day, it won't glue fingers together.

Getting it out of carpet is a big deal though
