My old (OLD) SeaQuest BC is probably genuine Cordura cloth, also known as "ballistic nylon". The kind with a separate urethane bladder. I have done some mods in the past, where I unzipped the BC, removed the bladder, and stitched to the nylon to add or change things. But I'd like to replace a couple of "belt loops" that were stitched to it, without having to take things all apart again. I'd like to be able to GLUE new patches on, to use as the new loops.
Funny thing is, I can't seem to find any glue (E6000, Goop, 3M's exotic yellow contact cements...lots of things) that will make a "can't pull it off" bond to the Cordura cloth. This is not PVC or one of the other "looks like nylon" cloths, it is the real deal. Someone in the business suggested a semi-flexible epoxy, but I need flexible, not a guessing game with $50+ epoxy kits.
Has anyone found anything that bonds to Cordura?
Or do I just have to break down and play Dr. Frankenstein again?
