Need help on what glue to use

[moshi]

I have a silicone (dragon shin) Bat that I made and I need to glue it to lycra for chest emblem. I tried perfect glue didn't work and also tried Sil Poxy that didn't work either. Does anyone know what other kind of glue that I can try? Or should I have not made the emblem out of Dragonskin?

I had a situation where I needed to glue some rubber gasket to a frame. I actually found the Liquid high temp silicone gasket you can buy at the auto parts store (comes in a tube, looks like black silicone) was the only thing that would stick to the rubber gasket I was using. You could try it on a scrap of dragon skin, to see how well it would stick. It remains flexable, dont think it would come off in the wash, but you would probably need to hand wash the costume...

how about the same "dragon skin " stuff !
if it remains flexible it shouldn't rip the lycra.

can you possible just velcro it in place then remove it to wash the costume?

Gonna have to go with Xeno here. If you brush on a thin coat of the DS you should be able to work it into the fibers of the lycra and have it hold pretty good. I should think just about any silicone adhesive that sticks to the DS would do the job though. It needs to be flexible enough not to crack off, while still being able to adhere well to the fabric.

Ok so u should try using ZAp a Gap super glue. It's what most use to glue a Superman Returns emblem on the lycra suit. It works great remains flexible ulike other super glues. I am not a great 'maker" of costumes but i did it and it was perfect. If u wear the suit and glue it on make sure u have a t shirt on underneath so u dont glue it to ur skin.

Good luck!
