Hi,

	My wife is trying to use a glue-gun to glue a 'skirt' around a sink.
Basically I need to know if it is possible to use a glue gun to glue fabric
against porcelain. Thank you!

answer please reply by e-mail. 

Thank you!

I saw that project on a Show on cable,,Im sure you can attach a fabric
dealie to it,And there are kits somewhere too,,If that glue fails then
switch to 100% SILICON SEALER! it sticks to anything even glass but is
stinky and ,messy till it cures in 24hrs But is extremely effective! I
have some holding a heavy soap dish to my Ceramic tile walls in the
bath..

If you already have the glue gun, take a strip of old fabric the same 
length of the skirt and do a test.  Let the glue dry and then pull on 
it, seeing how much strength you need to pull it off.  Also, look to 
see where it fails.  Does the glue hold or does the fabric tear?  The 
great thing about the glue gun is that you can reglue something if it 
comes undone.  There are also several types of glues to use in the 
gun.  Look for what you need.
