I just wanted to say, in case you didn’t know, that E-6000 can glue a patch of denim to a pair of jeans well enough to survive the washing machine and heavy use.

I cut up one old pair of jeans to patch several other old pairs of jeans. One bead of glue around the edge of the patch, one bead around the edge of the hole I’m patching. Some wax paper made sure I only glued what I wanted to glue, and a stack of books on top of the patch for a few days let it cure in place.

They’ve survived several months of regular washing, as well as working outside with no issues.

      I got some on my fingers several times during the process, and it wipes off easily with a paper towel, and residue washes off with regular hand soap.

      The curing time is very long, 36 hours if I remember it right. So I usually plan to leave it for a week because if I move the glued item too soon it falls apart again

        It’s not like super glue. Several days’ curing time. It washed off easily with regular hand soap

          Unless you hold your fingers together with pressure for more than a day, it won’t glue fingers together.

          Getting it out of carpet is a big deal though
