WyckedWood Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I've been collecting some vintage (70s-80s-90s) pattern books for 1:12 ladies and misc. mini making. The authors recommend the use of velverette glue, for hat making, dress making, wigging etc. I've never heard of that glue, can anyone tell me what it would be comparable to? I usually use tacky glue for everything mini, thinking maybe velverette is similar or the same since it sounds like at one time it was the go-to glue. side note...these books are funny sometimes with their lists of necessary supplies, sometimes very obscure, interesting or now non existent items available (not available) in long gone places. This one takes the cake though...I recently picked up a copy of Judee Willamsons bed book. Among the list of necessary supplies, I was surprised to see listed "two tampax tampons"....and now you know how the bed bolsters are made lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debsrand56 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I found a post that said that Fast Grab Tacky glue is the closest to Velverette. Apparently it was a fabric glue. Not sure if Aleene's other fabric glues would also work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I've never had good luck with fast grab tacky for some reason. I pour my tacky glue in a baby food jar and it becomes sort of tackier. I do have some small sample bottles of Alene's other fabric tacky glues, I'll have to try them, I've never even opened them. Thanks for the info Deborah:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I have some of the fabric glues and I used one of them to cut out the pieces for the two awnings I made Brimble's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Grizzle Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I have been looking for the Solomon's Group Velverette glue for quite awhile. BEST CRAFTING GLUE EVER MADE!!! I USED IT ON ALL KINDS OF CRAFTING IN THE LATE 70S AND EARLY 80S. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!! Deemed unsafe school glue in California law. So why can't adults find and use it as we know not to eat it. I really, really miss it!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
