There is a short nylon strap on the inside of my Martin guitar hard case at the headstock end that has come un-glued. It holds the top half of the case up in the open position. The strap end fits in between the felt and the interior side of the case and seems to have been glued to the case and not the felt. Any thoughts on what glue to use to reattach? and how? 

If it's more work than it's worth I can live with it as it is. Just curious....

Thanks,

Bill

One of the strongest epoxy's I have used is primarily used to build golf clubs. I can be purchased at most golf supply stores. If the glue can hold the golf club together during the golf swing, it will hold almost anything.

Try a luggage repair (or shoe repair) place if you have one in your area.
