antron fleece and water

[Frogpuppeteer]

so the question is do they mix i have some ideas but dont want to advance untill i know if it will do major damage

In order to dye antron you use a ton of water it really has no effect to the material .
over on the projectpuppet blog it will give you some great tips on working with antron , Check it out !!!

I don't think he's talking about dying the fleece......I think he's talking about puppeteering or puting the fleece in water....

 

[renegade]

I know .... I'm just saying antron and h2o go hand in hand and should have no real effect on the fabric .. please correct me if i'm wrong

I wouldn't submerse a completed puppet in water unless you are prepared to build a new one. In most cases, the puppet won't dry out to it's original splendor.

I would be more concerned about your "other" materials, since puppets are rarely made of pure antron. Antron is a synthetic material so water does not have much of an effect other than if you just get parts wet, you might get water spots. But if you are using foam-core board etc., these may be severly damaged by exposure to water.
Hope this helps.
