craftgrrl | Fabric and plastic questions (Reply)

Two questions for the community:

**Has anyone ever tried to dye any sort of suede-type fabric (not actual suede)? Any tips? I have an idea in the back of my head that there's a chance that it will look splotchy, but I don't know why I'm thinking that. And if I'm matching a color, should I still go a shade darker while wet, or 2 shades? Also, has anyone ever come across a stretch suede, or am I looking for something that doesn't exist?

**I am attempting a project that involves gluing overlapping pieces of clear mid-weight plastic (like you would use to cover furniture). When I tried Krazy Glue, it got all cloudy. It needs to be permanent and clear -- any suggestions? Is there something from the model car world that might work? Maybe an epoxy or something of that nature?

(Cross-posted in a couple of different places, so apologies if you see this twice)

Thanks! This community has helped me tons in the past!
