I have an old TKL hard case with fabric lining that is pulling away from the shell case. Any recommendations for a glue I can use to fix this? It appears they used some sort of double sided tape to attach the fabric to the case rim, but the tape has crumbled and degraded over the 20+ years I’ve owned it. The neck and lid area of the case are fine, but the entire body section is loose and curls in on itself when you put the guitar in.
I found a post in the archives that suggested Aleene’s glue from a fabric/crafting store, but it didn’t work for me. The glue stuck to the crumbly fabric tape, but had zero adhesion to the case covering. Clamped overnight with flexible cauls and it pulled right away when I tested it the next day.
Anyone else have experience with this? I’m selling the dobro that goes in it and I’d like to get the value that the case adds, but not if the new owner is gonna be calling me a week after I sell it angry that the case I sold them is falling apart.
