She called me back, and said to went to the automotive store and bought what they call glue spray for the inside of your care overhead liner. (This is for the inside of your car when the top of your ceiling comes down and hits you in the head)
It is the same as glue spray for 1/4 of the price. I think she
said she paid $3.00- $4.00 for a large can.
I told her I would pass this on. same product for 1/4 of the cost.

it not the same , I have used it for the right porpuse and it sticks to averything and gettse hard

Can you lift your fabric up and put back down to reposition with the elmers like you can with 505 and others.

I was kind of figuring someone would know someone who works with cars to give us the answer. I know the 505 spray is expensive, but it really only requires a light misting and goes a long way so one can lasts quite awhile. Someone recently posted a link (or I came across it on a blog) that showed the results of a real analysis of three spray basting products and the results on the fabric over the long-term. The conclusion was that the 505 was the spray that showed the best long-term results (as far as not harming, discoloring, or otherwise damaging you fabric). As much as we invest in the fabric, batting, thread and our sewing machines, I think we would be wise to make sure we know what products, like basting spray, might do to them over the long term. I will post that blog or link if I can find it again.

Warning: Spray GLUE is NOT the same as quilt basting spray ! Basting sprays MADE for quilts are water-soluble, they come out when the quilt is washed. Spray glue made for other use is going to be permanent :(

I love shortcuts and tips, but I've learned that doing certain things could void warranties on newer machines.

Thank you for posting this, but for now.. I'll stick to the spray basting glue that my LQS carries. I'm too chicken...lol

my question is how does she know it is 100% the same; will it come out when washed. Just like there are glues made for fabic but it doesn't come out unless washed right away and can get hard and leave marks. I buy the spray at Walmarts because it does just as good as 505 but is alot cheaper. I'm not so sure about the one for cars. I'd hate to ruin anything that I made because it didn't come out.
