A340 Pilot Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi! What's the best glue to use on HGW's textile seat belts? TIA Stein mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I just use CA gel to be honest. Just use as small an amount as possible, but they handle it well and stick together nicely if you're careful. Kev mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcben80 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I've used Gator's Grip glue for putting these belts together. Worked very well for me. Ben mpk and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I've used Gator's Grip glue for putting these belts together. Worked very well for me. Ben What Ben said. I clamp the glued portions in a set of locking tweezers until it's nearly dry. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) I love the HGW belts. I've tried the RB ones, liked them alt too, but HGW is just more available to me. I only wish they printed both sides like the RB versions. Edited April 8, 2017 by Clunkmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 PVA glue is certainly the best glue for this kind of job (textile or paper belts). I use the Pacer formula 560, but any other kind of white glue should work nicely. You just have to apply a small drop, you press the belt for a few seconds, clean the excess and it's done. And the belt remains more flexible than with CA. But i still use CA to glue the belts on the seat. Shaka HI and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I use a water base canopy glue, RC56 for textile based belts mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I used Krystal clear the other day. Works well. Clunk, I just found 5 sets of RB Luftwaffe belts. You need a set? I was about to order more when I happened to open the correct 109 box. Bill_S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Formula 560 Canopy Glue...this is not your grandfather's Elmer's white glue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I actually use the very thin CA since I can use just at tiny bit applied with a pin to lock down the seatbelt and the buckle if I need to or to attach the pad to the back of the buckle. I use thicker CA for attaching the PE to the seat or frame unless the attachment point is very noticeable, then I go back to the very thin CA and the pin. Have not used the water based/canopy glue before but will try it now... Chris Zero77 and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I have, too. But 560 is very forgiving and it works fast and stays put. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
