[Harp-L] Valve Glue Pen

[gnarlyheman@xxxxx]

It didn't set fast enough, I didn't like the texture, and I don't have confidence in its durability.
Weldwood works, and it's kind of the winner by consensus.
I wish it came in a pen applicator!

This stuff has the best properties of contact cement in that it doesn’t dry too fast so you have time to carefully position the valve yet it is thick enough so the valve stays where you put it. But unlike contact cement, there’s no stringy stuff (or spider webs as Gary calls them) to deal with. To top it off, it comes in a pen dispenser which adds to the convenience.

The brand he sent me is called “Fabric Fusion” and it’s available from multiple sources for very little money, so you have a choice of ordering from Greg (I think he deserves a lot of credit for experimenting with many different types of glue before finding this) or ordering it from elsewhere, such as Amazon, for very cheap:

I got something from you in the past that was a cool applicator with some kind of white glue in it that, for me, didn’t work so well as the valve wouldn’t stay in one place while drying (this is a bit hard for me to describe well). So I’ve continued to use contact cement which can be a pain to work with due to the stringiness, but does the trick for me.
