which is better for gluing fur? tacky or hot glue...or any other suggestions?

I use a clear fabric glue called Fabri Tac that works great on all types of cloth and fake fur too since it has that knitted backing. Does not stick to smooth vinyl or other plastics though.

I think hot glue may also work as long as what you're gluing the fur onto can handle the heat.

I'd rather just sew the fur on, but if its on something you can't sew, i'd just use either glue guns or gorrilla glue (its extremely strong!!!) on it.

Thanks, I'm trying to get my glue gun back from a a friend...and have failed so far. I have clear tacky but I wasn't sure if that was strong enough to hold the fur onto a headband. ^^ Makin' my ears...

I didn't think of this before, but if you're trying to stick fur/fabric onto a plastic headband, you might try "gem glue" which is made to stick plastic gems onto shirts & stuff. That might be the right combination that would adhere to both materials because it's usually hard to get a good bond with plastic unless you use a specific glue.

actually the headband itself of covered in leather but I covered that also with fur...don't worry, I just did it with tacky anyways...it works just fine
