    Does anyone know what glue would be good for attaching the white/inner face (poly taffeta) of two pieces of Xpac (e.g. VX21) together? This would be for the edge of an internal pack divider to the middle of another part of the pack.

    I’m looking for a glue (or tape?) that would last a long time.

    I suspect bonding that fabric would be difficult. However the inside of the ‘x’ only xPac material, where the waterproof membrane is exposed, glue exceptionally well. 3M Super 77 is the glue to use.

    @roamer Really? It’s just polyester taffeta. I did a little online searching, and it looks like maybe Shoe Goo would work. I wonder if the glue will hold and the fabric layer might pull apart. Hmm. Testing needed.
