Straw hats are a popular and stylish accessory, but they can be delicate and prone to cracking over time. If you’ve noticed a tiny crack forming in your beloved straw hat, don’t despair – there are ways to repair it and extend the life of your hat.
Repairing Cracks with Glue
One quick fix for a small crack in a straw hat is to use a dab of Elmer’s glue. The glue will help hold the straw fibers together and prevent the crack from spreading. However, this is a temporary solution and may not provide the long-term durability you’re looking for.
Using Crown Repair Strips
For a more permanent repair, it’s usually best to use a crown repair strip. These strips are designed to patch and hold the straw together, preventing further cracking. They can be applied directly to the cracked area, and the flexible material will bend and move with the straw, providing a stronger and more durable fix.
