I have used the uhu reasonably effectively for a few things, glad it wont eat them:-) I also sometimes use the pva stuff, squirt some out onto a piece of paper and use something small to dab it onto the necessary place. I suppose if I stick with those two I shouldn't cause myself too many problems. Thanks for the input. I love to learn things and just hope I can remember them when I really need them, :-) I do have both of those in the house, so thats fine. Sue T
I like to think that the labelling on the glue package is telling me the truth e.g. that UHU is, as it says, non-toxic, washable and acid-free. That suits my purposes for using it to manage thread ends if required. Regarding discolouring, I will find out, if my laces last that long :p As with tying knots, and doing sewings, I apply the glue on the 'wrong' side of the lace and try to keep it off the visible layer of the lace itself. I googled 'UHU glue' and found that it is named for an owl that inhabited the Black Forest in Germany :) On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 5:47 AM, Sue <hurwitz...@supanet.com> wrote: I dont use glue much but do find it useful for some pieces so how would I know what glue is OK and what might discolour or distroy.
