WHICH FABRIC GLUE/ADHESIVE IS BEST FOR EVENT PATCHES?

Hi all!
I am about to replace my drag racing jacket by removing the original patches and moving them to a new jacket along with updates.
There are many and so I would rather not have to sew them all on.
In the past I learned the iron on stuff just doesn't work. I have even used Loctite super glue gel which kinda works but it's expensive for all I must do.

Should you wonder... There is not one patch on this jacket that I've not had some connection to be it a product, race track, drag strip or event.
The rarest is the Stardust Raceway one.

So.... What product(s) do I need to do this please?
Thank you!

What's more important....the patches or the jacket ?

I'd have to say.....sew them on......so as not to ruin the patches.

 

This jacket is not important but I will cut away the 'Heartbeat' and save it.
The patches are all important, and some near impossible to replace, but even so I can cut the material around them away and reuse them.
A very good point though!
I only have until 8/6 to get this done but I did buy another machine if I decide to sew them.

 

I just posted a reply......didn't realize that I wasn't logged on....anyone know what happens to replies by a "guest"?

I don't know where to find it.

 

I do not....

 

Okedoke....I'll just reply again.

Now that I know you are planning on cutting out the patches......faster and easier, I agree, but I wouldn't trust any glue....not even on the new patches.

Whatever glue you end up using....if you use any at all, I'd take a few stitches in all the corners for safety.

Removing the patches from the jacket by removing the stitches is very time consuming. You can buy a stitch ripper cheaply if you don't already have one. It's still time consuming but they make the job easier.

 

Thank you!
I have all those tools as I can sew...
Yes I can Komo.

 

I thought there may be some new technology I could employ.

 

A man who can sew!!

 

Let us know if you find it!

 

If it were me, I'd hang that jacket on the wall and start a new one. Needle and thread otherwise. You're going to need to use a hand needle to sew them too. A machine is faster but might balk at the old glue or whatever's on the back.

 

I use Copydex for fabrics, Its quite strong, As has been said you can always put a stitch or two in as well.

 

Speed-Sew fabric glue seems to get good reviews. Sewing is not one of my favorite things so I take those tasks to sis...

 

There are some textile glues that might hold, but you're still better off backing that up with some stitching.

 

I have been able to since about 11 years old. I have made clothes for my kids and fixed/modified many things.
I still want some Hawaiian shirts made though I don't want to make them.
Anyone out there interested?

 

I'll check that one!
Thanks!

 

I'll check that!
Thanks!

 

You may have missed how hard it would be to find some of them and any available are not cheap.
There are least $300 worth, and another $50 to $100 to still go on... If they could all be found.

 

Ha and WOW!!!
