Very useful thanks. How forgiving is the adhesive if you need adjust to pull out a bubble or wrinkle? My project is relining the inside of an old accordion case so it has a curved surface to the lid.
I have lined dice trays which one required a little adjustment. I was able to lift it up and adjust. This was wood though. Try it on a similar material with a scrap piece and see what it does. Cardboard maybe. Take your time, maybe do it in sections. Bottom first then sides. Just tape up the other areas you are not doing so you don't get glue on them. That way you don't have to worry about cleaning unwanted glue off.
Thanks for the great video. About to do this to a chess board I've had a friend build. What do you find the most effective way to get a close trim on the edges?
Thank you for the feedback. I use a small box cutter with snap off blades, so I can always have a sharp blade to use. This has always given me a close cut to the edges, and I have also used this method when I have made my dice trays which are a box shape. Hopefully this helps you with your chess board project.
You can get a paint on glue contact that might work. I have purchased this from my hardware store but haven't tried it yet. I am about to try it out on a test piece to see how well it works and last.
I've been applying felt to the inside of jewelry boxes. I've been using the self-adhesive type. I cut the felt before, very close to the final fit dimension, fit it and tighten up the edges w/ a credit card. Finally, I come back w/ a razor to trim the excess. It's a lot quicker than your method. Nice work, nevertheless ~
Well, regarding the longevity of the adhesive...I haven't had any complaints from friends, family and some customers , for over a year. Remember I'm applying this 'felt' to jewelry boxes and there isn't a lot of movement or activity w/ regard to the felt slipping. My point or rather comment was my method of using this 'one sided' adhesive ' felt is quicker and doing the job, in terms of how well the finish product looks as well as the 'feel' ~ @@diceitupgaming
G'day Eric. At the moment I am using a brand called Selleys Kwik Grip. This hasn't let me down yet. This is the same brand you see in the video. It seems to spray really well out of the can. I have used other brands before, but I keep coming back to this one. Hope this has helped.
