I suppose it's possible that the solvent in the glue would attack some synthetic fibers. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com

HTP can burst into flames when spilled on dirty fabrics. Once when repairing the PCB runners on an ABS monitor case, that a previous repairer had mucked up with solvent glue, I'd superglued most of the shattered fragments of ABS back in - but a lot was just crumbs. What I used to fill the gaps, was cigarette ash and superglue, a plug of ash soaked in superglue is like granite - I noticed that the effect of ash on superglue was that it set hard instantly, and produced a lot of heat in doing so! |
