    Any quick suggestion for a tried and true glue that I can get at the random hardware store to bond the nylon sides of Dyneema Composite Hybrid (2.92 oz) together.  I need a secure, waterproof, flexible’ish bond, but not one that will bear much, if any, load. i.e. Gorilla Glue?

    I’ve used Loctite Hysol with great results in the past but now need something more readily available and less fussy.  Thanks for any help!

    How big a panel?

    Polyurethane sealant like McNett Seam Grip or Shoo Goo might work.  It’s pretty thick though.  You could dilute it with toluene but that stuff is nasty, definitely do it outdoors

    Thanks Jerry.  Just gluing some small strips to a shoulder-strap pocket.

    then seam grip, as long as the fabric isn’t siliconed
