erm....tail betwen the legs time!

it turned out to be a disaster, everything looked spot on when we applied the fluff,but when we brushed the excess off the next evening when the glue had dried (forgot my camera, apologes) there were loads of bald patches and area that the strands were flat in the glue...

the (very few) squre inches where the strand had hit the glu correctly (perpendicularly) looked tops, but the rest looked crap, like the beards on the terrorists in Team America....

When applying it theres so much fluff covering thr work it all looks spot on, but unfortunately this just masks any imperfections and areas missed.

In short I have no idea where we went wrong, but ours turned out depressingly shite.

sorry

joe

its already been rubbed down ready to be sprayed the same colour as the shell

trust me matty, i put alot of effort into every square inch trying to get the fibre to hit straight on,, and the result was very, very poor.

Sounds like theres no replacment for the pro way.

Get a balloon and rub it on your wooly embarrasing jumper. Then hover it over the fibres and wait for glue to dry

Jobs a piece of pie!!

Im not too keen on it, it feels wrong!!
