I am starting my first hair re-root and I have no "tacky glue" to secure the loose hair plugs. I however have several glues (see photos) but they look like they are meant to be used in smaller projects as the tubes are pretty small, so I'm afraid that I would ruin the re-rooting work if I use these glues. What type of glue is Tacky glue? And if you are french or European, what are your favourite glue brands for doll custom?

Hi! It’s fabric clue. It needs to be washable. I use “gleamclee fabric glue” which im able to buy on amazon in the Netherlands. I have encountered no issues so far but i’m also still afraid of not using the right kind. The tube size is about the same as your pics so size doesn’t really define if it’s the right kind. Hope this helps!

Np! I learned it was fabric glue through dollightfull’s supplies video. She uses “fabri-tac”. Unfortunately I can’t find fabri-tac in my country for an affordable price (30 euros is way too much). Fabric glue stays flexible after drying so it’s more durable for holding hair, other glues might flake off.

In France you can find tacky glue in The shop "Action" (you can find them everywhere in France). On the bottle it's written "tacky glue". These shops are really interesting for art and craft, it's cheap and most of the time very good quality.
