Hi-tack fray stop is a specialised fabric adhesive designed to prevent fraying on cut edges of fabric. Here are the key features and uses:
- It's a clear, thick liquid adhesive that dries permanently flexible
- Designed specifically to seal raw fabric edges to prevent unraveling and fraying
- Stronger holding power than regular fray check products (hence the "hi-tack" name)
- Can be used on most fabric types including cotton, polyester, linen, and many synthetics
- Common applications include:
- Sealing ribbon ends
- Securing buttonholes before cutting them open
- Preventing fraying on appliqué edges
- Reinforcing embroidery edges
- Creating no-sew hems on lightweight fabrics
- Stabilizing fabric edges before sewing
The adhesive comes in small bottles with precision applicator tips for controlled application. Once applied, it typically dries clear but can sometimes leave a slight sheen or stiffness to the fabric where applied.
Unlike regular fabric glue, hi-tack fray stop is specifically formulated to penetrate fabric fibers and create a stronger bond to prevent unraveling
