    "The Creeper" fur question--glues?

    Question about a Creeper custom:

    For the black glove and boot trim, I was considering strips of low-pile fake fur. What would be the best adhesive for this onto accessories?

    Silicone glue, Gorilla glue, etc?

    I'm considering using both hard plastic and silicone/vinyl boots and gloves.

    Thanks!

      Thanks--will Gorilla glue stick to the traditional plastic boots? I figured I'd sand them a little first.

        I'm sure the sanding will help, just not sure how well it will stick to the old milk bottle plastic type boots. Might be better off gluing it to the costume right above the boots.

            oops, well, hope it sticks to something then. Maybe consider a yellow suit.

              Maybe consider putting the fur on a strip that can wrap around the leg above the boot? You could use use velcro or a snap to close it and the top of the boot would keep it from slipping too far down the leg.
