Did wonder if your balsaloc would be any good! wonderful stuff but been out of production for years.

balsa is best.

Is the 'Impex' glue that dressmakers use any good?
I've seen it recommended for nylon......but for tissue?

Think you would need to experiment with it on test piece, I've never heard of it tbh, I use covergrip because I know it works..

balsa is best.

Think 5 star are having problems of some kind, loads of there stuff is out of stock although if you can get it and it's any good it's half the price of covergrip

balsa is best.

And a warm welcome from me Merlin. About the only thing that's not allowed here is flaming, you can even swear if it's appropriate.

Do it now, you may never get another chance

Been on 5 Star site - asked if they have a glue or method of glueing/sealing a small hole in a Silicone bag which I use for mixing Sourdough bread mix after sealing the open end with tie wrap...joe

You could try Tec 7. That glues just about anything.

Sad to say I've had zero success in gluing anything Silicon once it's cured.

I must admit I have not tried it on silicon Klippy. I did repair a leak in an above ground pool with it, from the inside with the water still in it. That was two years ago & it hasn't leaked since ! Clever stuff.

There is some clear tape advertised on pinterest that they seal leaks on everything with it on the outside, even on big containers full of water, in fact they peel it back so the water pores out the holes push it back on and it stops it again
Dont know the name, next time they mail me ill have to take the name

No real problems here at 5 star, things were eventually all sorted out after all the problems moving 3000km, all glues in production , starspan tissue, dopes, even the rc plane kits but then corronavirus hit and everything had to stop!

other than the same as everyone with coronavirus we are fine..lol...,I had the coronavirus back in march ( and it is bad....lol..) post is a pain in the A**e....No post available to USA no post to Australia but post to most places available
During the summer we had a problem with no post to anywhere, post from here runs on passenger flights so they stopped all flights and therefor the post

Lockdowns here have finished but since was state of emergency ( now a state of emergency epidemic....apparently that is better ), but during lockdown from February to August we could not travel between districts and factory is in technically another district so we couldnt get there, just no shops for me till 10.30am and only then till 1pm , so hence the post office limited time made even worse!
.
The problem now , the only problem is really nobody is wanting to work so just me here most of the time , everyone else is in hiding from coronavirus, I have part time people in when needed ( most things are from automatic machines though so not much of a problem)

but working single handed...literally! things are taking a bit longer ( one of the dogs bit my arm just after the start of lockdown as there was no dog food...so he was grumpy at being given canned food instead of raw meat! and has damaged nerves in it so not working well... to make things worse)

Getting in the post office is restricted to once a week as it takes us too long we form a queue, as every parcel is opened and checked for customs!

Most things are in stock even if not listed and we have loads of raw materials for adhesives and all other things ( even block balsawood! ) , but for messages use facebook for a fast response as it comes through wherever i am, unlike emails

Thanks for the heads up 66, here in South Africa we are now deep into our 2nd wave thanks to all the idiot school matriculants who just had to go to rave parties to celebrate, although we are technically still locked down! For 6 mths we weren't allowed any inter provincial travel which meant my sister couldn't go back home, I'll never understand why I didn't end up in jail for murder,[badass] it took a lot of self control!

As a world wide thing it seems to be about to get very bad...
They say today in Bulgaria we may be starting a third wave soon and serious measures may be brought in after christmas
For 2 months, maybe 3 ( i forget ) we had another restriction so many returned from abroad that they put a local curfew ( with 20 minutes warning! ) , not allowed out in local area unless going to shop once a week or to walk the dog...( I have 8 dogs.... ) and no out at all 7pm to 7am at all!

Yet people still refuse to stand apart or wear masks as people die around them...i cant see why the problem with masks or standing apart....if it may help any help is good!
I still; feel very ill now some days, 9 months on from having it
