Perfect! Tried this the other day. No lingering smell, which was great.
In the so-called “non-toxic” glues, is there one that is actually safe to use on toys that dogs play with? I have a beloved ball that is separating at the seam holding the two parts together. None of the 10 or so balls I have ordered to replace this one interest my dog, he only wants the one that is “injured”. I am in search of a safe glue to use for repair.
Which of these would be best used for upholstery? Specifically, glueing latex cushions to wood? Many thanks
Non Toxic adhesives are definitely the way to go! Switched to these a long time ago! Thank you for sharing this list!
We switched to non toxic adhesives a long time ago. I am impressed with the products and also am happy to be more environment friendly.
Cool that now you can find many non-toxic paints, adhesives and various other accessories for repairs. This helps to protect us and our loved ones. There have been many cases when, due to negligence and the use of toxic substances during repairs, people received injuries caused by loss of consciousness and so on. Thanks for sharing this list, this is cool!
