Fabric wrapping liners is relatively new to me. I need a little guidance. I'm not looking to continuously wrap just yet. I just want to wrap the fabric around the ends for a more finished look. My customer brought me the fabric to match something in her house. I didn't say I was going to wrap the ends so I don't have to but I just want to. I do have extra fabric to play with but am concerned if I biff it I don't think it would be too easy to reuse the liner itself. Now to the questions.......
I've used the Miracle Muck for mats but I have always reactivated it with heat. It seems to dry way too fast, how do I apply it to the liner, keep it usable without heat? Or do I use an iron. Hope not because this is a pretty deep scoop liner. The fabric is linen but fairly thin, it would seem too much glue would bleed through.
Is there a trick to cut the fabric at the corners where I want to wrap it around the end? I know I just want one single layer of fabric on the end but I am in particular concerned about where to cut at the very inside corner.
How smoothly primed does the wood have to be? I've sanded but me thinks the paint was a bit thicker than necessary, there are some brush strokes. I don't want to waste a lot of time resanding if it won't show.
There you have it, in a fairly large nutshell, my questions presented to anybody interested, or not. Respectfully submitted for anybody's approval. A hearty thank you will be cheerfully bestowed upon anybody so kind as to respond with any useful information that I might glean.
