Repairing Thermal Backing on Curtains

RE: Repairing Thermal Backing on Curtains Post By mums198 (Guest Post) (01/02/2008) Thanks Kidsnclutter for your suggestion. A friend suggested similar, and I have actually managed to repair it quite well using bathroom silicone. The surface, however, was shinier than the surrounding areas, so I dusted the wet silicone with talcum powder. Not a bad job if I say so myself. Request: Repairing Rubber Backed Curtains Post by Laurel_admin (93) | (01/02/2008) Contact Recently I had some acrylic (rubber) backed curtains dry-cleaned and the backing broke down so that light shines through in various patches. Is there anyway they can be rescued? A separate backing was attached at a cost, but the light still shines through. Pat from Brisbane Answers: RE: Repairing Rubber Backed Curtains Just a thought, don't know if it will work. What if you put a dollop of rubber cement (packaged in jar with a brush) on the back of the curtain where the light shines through, it's similar to the rubber backing...might work. But you've already paid to have a second (fabric?) backing added so it gets a little tricky now, you don't want to ruin that also. (08/15/2005) By kidsNclutter
