Hi. Just a quick question. The green felt is coming off one of my pieces.

What would be the best glue to reapply these?

I don’t want to damage the felt or wood.

Thanks all

In the USA we have Elmer’s Glue.  It is water based and good with wood and such.  I have refelted both plastic and wood sets using Elmer’s glue.  It works fine.

I imagine you should be able to get it in the UK.  If not, I would look for something similar.

Good luck.

This is what I use for felt and to repair my wooden pieces.

@KnightsForkCafe. Really? I have some of this ha. Does it come through the felt or make the felt less soft where the glue is applied? Also any tips for application? Amount etc?

Thanks again

@itrenix As long as you don't use a ton of it. It will not bleed through the felt. The good thing about that glue is that it dries clear and is stronger than regular school glue. I tend to use a Q-Tip for application. I find that using a Q-Tip helps prevent putting on too much on the repair that is needed.
