Gluing Material to Frames

GLUING MATERIAL TO FRAMES

Use Milliner's Glue when gluing materials. Milliner's Glue can be purchased at any Millinery Supply House. Apply glue with a small paint brush: some brands of glue have a brush in glue container.

HOW TO GLUE MATERIAL TO FRAME

Cover surface of frame where material is to be applied with glue and allow to stand about five minutes. Then apply another coat of glue to frame and firmly smooth material over glued surface, pressing and smoothing a small area at a time (Illus. 2). Be sure material has adhered to frame on each space glued, before going on to the next space. When all material has been glued to frame, allow to dry thoroughly.

GLUING MATERIALS TOGETHER

When gluing any kind of fabrics together, put the glue on both pieces of fabric and press glued sides together.

TESTING MATERIALS TO BE GLUED

It is wise to first test materials to be glued. Cut a small piece of elastic net and apply glue, then cut a small piece of material to be glued and smooth material over glued elastic net. Let dry. If material will not take glue, spots will appear on sample when dry.
