Oops-crafty moms, is this fixable?

[tiffbot]

I took the cover off DS's loveseat today to wash it and in the time it took me to put it in the washing machine and come back he had ripped a few chunks out of the cushion. I have all the pieces, is there some sort of special craft glue I can use to put it back together or is it more worth it to me to just cover it up again? I wouldn't really care to fix it, but we had a gift card for a local privately owned boutique and this dang chair was actually pretty expensive.

Chances are no...once foam comes out, it's not easily reattached. My dog chewed a hole in our mattress topper and we had to toss it.

I assumed this would be the general response. Boo. Oh well. At least it can be covered up yet. Thanks!

If it was just a cushion I would wrap batting around it to smooth it out, but it doesn't look like you can do that with this shape. But I mean, if it's got a slipcover over it anyways....mehh no one is going to know except for you.

I agree with PP - not much to do. Sorry. Once the slipcover is on, no one will notice.

You can use a spray adhesive. I've used the 3M Foam Fast 74 (I refinish/upholster furniture as a hobby) and that does work, not perfectly but it will bond the foam together pretty well. It isn't cheap, however, like $15/can, and those are small pieces so I'd definitely see what it looks like with the slipcover back on. If it isn't significantly noticeable, leave it be.

Thanks girls! I know with the covering it won't be that bad. Just the initial sadness of it finally getting wrecked-it lasted over a year in good condition haha. I definitely wouldn't want to make it an expensive fix, but thought I'd see if I at least had options. I appreciate it!

E-200 or something? There is certainly some kind of glue that will work for foam.

ETA just read a forum that said white craft or school glue should be sufficient.
