 +.\\ 
 +* Extremely Multipurpose. Permanent. Washing Machine resistant. Scratch resistant. Water resistant. Sun UV/Fade resistant. Soap resistant. Three Dimensional. Rubbery. Slightly stretchy. Won't crack or crumble. Not Brittle. Far more industrial than hot-glue. Paint doesn'​t become part of the fabric fiber, instead is glued onto the fiber. Pigment Powders. \\ 
 +.\\ 
 +.\\ 
 +.\\ 
 +.\\ 
 +.\\ 
 +Cons\\ 
 +.\\ 
 +* Only comes in small containers. Only comes in some colors (but can be mixed and pigmented). Semi-transparent when smeared. Too thick to paint fine details. When drying, compacts and slightly pulls. Becomes thinner as it dries. Slightly expensive, available in only small containers. Can be scraped off slippery plastic easier than hard super-glue. Does not adhere some slippery fabrics together as well as some hard glues. Being permanent, store it up high away from kids. \\
