Glue as aid to stop abrasion?
Apr 3^rd, 2017 at 11:18pm

I recently tried using some fabric glue in areas of a sling I made that usually are prone to abrasion, area where you would add whipping, and below the release knot. It seems to have worked very well, I have used it a bit and see no abrasion, but it made it a bit stiffer. Any thoughts on this or personal experiences? Maybe better ways like wax?

When I used it on my seat belt slings. I usually use the paracord inners to do the whip stitching. I dab some of tge e6000. Then spread it out. After it dries, you don't notice, all you do notice is a light glaze on the stitching. Really strong glue. I use it with my jute slings as well. Never an issue, I have had crazy glue almost eat the natural materials.
