Troubleshooting

Glue doesn't seem to be holding.

Ensure the fabric surfaces were clean and dry before applying. Apply a sufficient amount of glue, and allow for complete drying. Check compatibility with fabric type.

Glue is visible after drying.

Apply a thinner layer of glue. Avoid applying too much glue, which can lead to a visible residue. Allow for complete drying.
