Outdoor use as each maker states it. “Not stated” means the maker’s page and data sheet don’t say.
Contact adhesive, Gorilla’s way
For Clear Grip, Gorilla says to wait about two minutes for the adhesive to partly dry before joining the surfaces. The bond forms immediately and is hard to reposition, so line the fabric up first. Full cure takes at least 24 hours.
J-B Weld’s FAQ says most of its products won’t bond well to canvas, and the Original, KwikWeld and ClearWeld pages don’t list fabric.
Titebond lists cloth for Titebond Original, among porous materials, but not for outdoor use or where moisture is likely.
What glue for fabric on a wooden headboard or panel?
Glues that list both include Gorilla Fabric Glue, Gorilla Clear Grip and E6000. Gorilla warns Fabric Glue may damage finished surfaces, so mind the wood's finish.
The glues that list both surfaces come from each maker’s own surface list, and Clear Grip’s method from Gorilla’s page. Checked against published data from Henkel, J-B Weld, Gorilla Glue Company, Eclectic Products and Franklin International.
