By coincidence I had ordered one of those when this thread started. I didn't know they existed either and have needed to repair bags, jackets, furniture and other things besides being continually frustrated with every available type of glue for patches. I just got it yesterday, glued a patch

Has anyone considered contact cement? It has to be spread on both bag and patch. The challenge is to control how much goes on the bag so it doesn't stick out the sides of the patch. I found a glue called Pliobond. I haven't used it on patches but around our house it has reattached shoe soles,

Meade, I usually like the peace of mind that stitching gives me and usually use a fairly heavy duty needle and thread and a pair of needle-nosed pliers to push it through the heavy material (carefully!). However, on the patch you recently sent with me, I chose a placement on my bag that had an i

You can try shoe-goo (or similar). I think coffeeneur uses that to affix her patches to bags. shoji (who has a drawer full of patches and needs to make time to get 'em on the bags.) On Sunday, November 29, 2015 at 8:19:01 PM UTC-5, dougP wrote: > > The heat gun may be worth a shot. I tried i

The heat gun may be worth a shot. I tried ironing patches onto my Acorn rando bag & found they don't stick very well. I believe the bag material is coated & prevents a good bond. Mine is several years old & has seen enough weather that I was hoping to get enough stick'em from the patches. I
