Anyone Glue Nylon Fabrics?

[strousek]

I have been trying to find the perfect pair of super lightweight down slippers for backpacking. I have yet to a pair that have all the qualities I am looking for. At this point I am interested in making my own so that I can address all the items and want. I have a pair of ripstop down filled booties but the bottoms are not strong enough. Instead of stitching and trying to seam seal I was thinking of gluing the 1680D Ballistic fabric from RSBTR on the bottom. Anyone have experience gluing nylons together?

1680D Ballistic Nylon

1680D Ballistic nylon is a super tough basket-weave synthetic and one the most durable fabrics we currently offer. A rugged, highly abrasion resistant fabric that can handle a beating. Great for reinforcing high-wear areas or creating bomb-proof gear that can take on any task you throw at it.

I don't think you will have a problem. Contact cement will probably work fine.

Shoe goo works well for what you’re doing.

I have used e6000 glue in the past for gluing patches on sleeping bags and puffies and it stays fairly flexible if thats a concern of yours.

Flexibility is the main concern. Not looking to go hiking in these booties but nice to be able to walk around camp and go filter water at the creek and such with them on. The reinforced sole will need to have some flexibility. Thank you guys for the input.

Shoe goo is soft rubbery ish, especially in thin layers. Even a pack cloth like 300d to 500d will hold up quite well with occasional use. I’ve made over the boot hip waders with a 300d to cross a knee deep stream at our trailhead and they have held up for years. A number of dots of Shoe Goo also work well for a little extra traction if your booties get a little slick.

I'd try silnet seam grip. Used on backpacks and goretex many times.
