resin question for all of you
Sep. 10th, 2006 10:39 pmi want to glue felt to the back of resin coasters. they're clear, so the glue can't show, because i want the black felt to show off the stuff i imbedded.
any suggestions? i checked thistothat.com, and they suggested spray adhesive, but also said that due to the many kinds of plastics, they can't give a definite answer. plus, i couldn't specify felt, just fabric, and felt is kinda plasticy itself.
i've never used spray adhesive, but i didn't think it was that permanent. is it?
basically i need something available in canada (no E600, i can't find it here), something clear, and something that won't make the felt hard (cause that will defeat the purpose of felt protecting the table!).
i would LOVE suggestions, and i promise to post pics once the person i'm making them for has received!
also, one other question - has anyone ever tried spraying resin stuff with a clear coat spray? what happens? does it seal it? i PERFECTLY measured my resin and catalyst, did them on a bright sunny day when the temperature was exactly what the package called for, and yet they're still a teensy bit sticky on the back side. they've been setting for a week, this isn't gonna go away! it's okay for the ones i'm putting the felt on, but the set i made for myself i really wanted to stay clear. i'm planing on putting those little rubber things on the bottom instead of felt.
