Members katsass Posted August 25, 2010 Members Report Posted August 25, 2010 is the 3-M product from a fabric store- or is this a hardware store product?? Thanks Bob R Quote NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!! At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses. Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.

dirtclod Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 I buy the 3M glue at a parts store and a couple of times at wal mart in the car parts section. Tell you want to look at headliner glue. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
gtwister09 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 There are other manufacturers of the "pressurized brush cans" out there. Many years ago (30 or so) when we were doing some custom combine services, a farmer in Kansas used these for his chains to keep them lubricated in that dusty environment and to reduce the oil waste with squirt cans. We used these later in a manufacturing environment that required some foam laminated between various composites. We didn't want to use sprays because of the overspray issue on the assembly benches. One of the things to remember about the high cost of the Kabi's is that they are almost solid brass internally and the pressurized pump is also calibrated as well. If I remember correctly they have 3 or 4 brushes from about 3/8" to 1" as well as a small tip (maybe a couple of sizes of tips also but I don't remember). Regards, Ben Quote
leevalley Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 if your screw on cap gets harder each time you pour glue out, after you wipe off the extra just put a small layer of vaseline on the threads of the can, you can open the can easily after have used this for years. Quote
Members CDragonworks Posted August 31, 2010 Members Report Posted August 31, 2010 I have found Liquid Stitch Fabric glue(the water based) to be the very best for leather work...it is a clear when dry glue that holds tight and is waterproof. I can't use Barge as I am allergic so I had to find something that I could use...there is no stink and no mess(water cleanup while wet) and it bonds tight...I have used it for horse tack and I use it on all my applique and cutwork... also dries fairly fast. You can buy it by the case from Brewers Sewing Supply or by the bottle at Hobby Lobby! Cat Quote
