Hello!I have a 2 Tails Big Fluke Tail and I can't sew.I've tried even by watching sewing videos on YouTube.Anyways, I want to know if there's a a great type of glue I could use that is great to glue seashell sequins onto a fabric tail that where I can still wash it and the sequins don't come off. I've found a few that I think might work like Aleene's OK to Wash-it and Aleene's Fabric Fushion but I want to know what lasts longer and has durability.And also ,if it matters, one that doesn't throw off the pH balance of the fish when swimming in it after its glued and all dry.I'm trying to make a koi fish inspired tail and the sequins I have are difficult to work with.Not sure what else to add as far as information you might need that might help you answer my question.

Illonka uses e-6000.

To get the pH balance to stabilize you might just have to rinse the tail a lot and test it on litmus paper until turns normal.

if you dont find an answer to this, test them out. use the glues to stick sequins on scrap of fabric and soak it,swim with it, stretch it, leave it in the sun,be rough, and hopefully the sequins will stay.

ive been testing different chemicals reactions to the natural ph balance of the water for salt fish right now(the fish have different way to protect against environmental issues using their intact epithilium and mucus secretions to prevent these and homeostatic mechanisms to eliminate excess salt) if you end up using any of them, PM me and ill put it on my research

E-6000 is really good. I use it for all my tails :)

I would agree with the E-6000 I use it to fix my shoe and it says that you have to use a special cleaner to fix bo bo's . it is strong stuff.

I always use E6000. I even made a seashell bra out of it
