Glueing shorts back...
 

[Closed] Glueing shorts back together

I have some fox bike shorts where the seam has come unglued so my back side is exposed to all.

Is there a special glue I should use to fix this or will normal super-glue be fine?

Super glue will dry very hard and sharp. Not comfortable. I tried to fix a hole in my jeans and it just scraped my gooch!

I'd suggest some proper fabric glue. (side note: I fixed my Endura singletracks with zinc oxide tape and then stitched over it. somehow they are still in one piece)

That was my fear about super glue.

I wonder where I can get fabric glue...

... or maybe some new shorts

I have some Altura waterproof shorts where the stiched onto the outside arse pad reinforcement came away. I fixed it back on with 'Seam Grip' which I bought from my local Go Outdoors shop.

Its originally meant for repairing rips etc in tents. ( Not that i've got a big arse or owt like... ) ๐Ÿ˜‰
