Floppy Disk Bag: Install Disk 2

Step 8 Interlude: Adhesives

Since we will be using a glue to adhere the floppies to the canvas while we secure them with twine, we will need to choose an appropriate glue for the job. I tried using Elmer's bull glue, but gorilla glue will work just as poorly. TEST YOUR GLUE ON SCRAP MATERIALS! I had to resew the entire matrix because the glue soaked through the fabric and hardened, barely adhering to the floppies. See the second picture. In my tests I found that both water based and polymer based work perfectly without soaking through the fabric. They dry clear as a bonus.

is the sobo glue in the picture any good?

The sobo glue is a great craft glue and firmly affixed the canvas to the diskettes.
