Review on 👕 Enhance Fabric Structure with Aleene's 15588 Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid - 8 Ounce by Morgan Gilmore

This is my first time using stiffeners, although I've used Aleene Tacky Glue in the past to stiffen crocheted snowflakes I wanted to try something different since my tattooed snowflakes are beaded and it seemed like the sticky blue always left a little film. It smells and looks like white glue, but there is something very different about this product. When I tried it at full strength, I was completely shocked to see that not only did it not set the flakes perfectly, but the small amount of product I had on hand required a bit of work to remove. However, my main concern was whether this would leave a film on my beads and I was again shocked to see that the beads' transparency had not diminished in the slightest. I have not attempted to test my Swarovski or Austrian crystals at the time of writing this review. I'll post my results once I've completed this test, but the glass beads passed the test with flying colours. I have a small suggestion for using this product, while most users suggest pouring a little into a bowl and then dipping the fabric into the stiffener, wringing it out and then blocking the item, I strongly advise you not to do this Things crocheted or crocheted. The best way I've found is to pour something into a bowl with a 50% dilution and then use a brush to apply the thickener to the item. I feel like the soaking and wringing method creates too much waste and ends up on your hands and workspace. By painting it, you reduce waste, cleaning becomes an easy task, and you don't risk distorting the object by squeezing and twisting. You can then attach your item to whatever board you like and let it dry if required. The drying time depends on environmental factors, temperature and humidity. Both days I used it was cool and slightly damp, all my flakes were completely dry and cured within 6-8 hours of application. to the quality you get. I don't understand how I used to crochet snowflakes without using this strip, but now I have it and it will be a permanent item in my craft closet. If you try my brush painting method, 8 oz. The bottle lasts a long time so the price is very reasonable and you will totally get your money's worth. Click the Buy button, you won't be disappointed.
