Tolex glue?

Post by Edward Dixon »

I bought an older Fender Blues DeVille a couple of years ago. The tweed covering had been replaced and is now (2 years later) coming unglued and curling up at the edges. What kind of glue can you recommend to repair it?


Thanks!

If your just gluing loose edges or where it overlaps you can use any yellow glue "like tight bond" Just glue it and tape it down till it drys. Any excess is removed with a rag and hot water.

Original they used hot hide glue. But most people don't have that laying around.
