View Full Version : Glue for Tyvek?
Does anyone know of a good glue for Tyvek? I'm planning a small DIY project (rain mitts) with Tyvek and want to use glue, instead of tape.

I used Plumber's Goop from Lowe's. Still holding up great even after washing it.

Just curious if you could thermal weld tyvek with a hot knife? I know that when you see the Tyvek bunny suits, that is how they are cheaply made.

I used soft tyvek... machine sewed it and then washed it. Everything appears fine so far. Oh... I did seal the seams after washing it, we'll see what happen in the rain.

I can elaborate but you probably wouldn't want me to.
