So I have a repair project which is only marginally costume-y.
However. It is a cheapie modern trunk made to look old with vinyl trim. The
trim is stitched and then glued down. Yeah. Right. But it’s coming up all over

Real Barge cement while very awesome is highly toxic containing xylene,
methel ethyl keytone, tolulene and tolulene among other brain rotting
carcinogens. Wear a respirator. A really good one and go outside. Please
avoid that stuff as I actually like you and would prefer to keep you around.
If
Since the real stuff is nasty to work with and since this is just for
looks , why not try Gorilla glue or regular heavy duty white glue?

I use E3000 glue. It takes a whike ti dry on fabrics but well worth the time.
It holds heavy trim or stonework. It is good for seams edging or torn fabrics
that are repaired by placing a backing fabric covered in glue them sandwiched
to original fabrics. It can bobd with most fabrics
