    How Cookie Monster works?

    Nice find. That's the ticket! The royal blue one looks like the best bet. Sorry if I sounded like a arse in my last post. I am here at work and can't be on here too long. LOL Had to keep it short and sweet. Nice find too as it is hard to find long hair nowadays. You can also get a swatch for...

    How Cookie Monster works?

    This fur has sparkles in it. What you want is a 2 - 3" blur fur, without sparkles. If you boil the fur it should give you the texture of Cookie Monster. I recommend doing test boils on small pieces to gauge how long the fur needs to boil for. The sparkle fur is nice and is the right length but...

    No, but the treatment is the same just different material. I'm going to cover 3 mouthplates one made from foam, one made with elastic grips and one from pieces of gasket rubber.

    Photo Puppet Maintenance Advice

    Just a tip... To trim the pile from the fleece use a pair of nail cutters. It'll get those buggers off but not cause too much damage to the fleece. Make certain the cutters are new and sharp or you'll be pulling the pieces off causing the fabric to raise even more. Hope this helps

    Bleaching Antron Fleece?

    I hear it turns stuff a light yellow and degrades the fabric after a while. Could try that though.

    Bleaching Antron Fleece?

    If you try to liquid bleach it- it could ruin the fabric all together. Did you add salt to the dye when you dyed the fabric? If not, you could try washing the fabric in a washing machine and hope that some dye leaves. Sometimes machine washing "unfixed" fabric can lighten it up a bit. Next...
