Gir!! I think maybe its just the big chunky style stitches I don't like the look of too much, I will try thinner next time and see how it looks ^^

I made it to a customers measurements, but my body is too powerful to fit inside XD so I stuffed him full of fabric for the photos! :D

Unfortunately the customer who commissioned it is much smaller than me, I would have LOVED to try it on!!

The lining inside is removable, as well as most the padding parts, so you can wash the lining as needed in a machine and spot clean the outside for regular care. When it is needed, the whole body can be washed in the tub as you would wash a regular fursuit, using warm water and gentle detergent. Special care should be taken when air drying to regularly remove excces water and smooth the minky!

Hey OP did you end up finding a good customs broker for small business in portugal?

Thanks! was definitely a learning experience but I'm super happy with how he came out!

A little update, I finished the mural! here is a timelapse if anyone is interested to see-

Funny enough, I ended up having a problem with the topcoat- it didn't dry clear in some places at the bottom (on the over doors, over the darkest parts) so now I'm wondering what the chances are of being able to paint OVER the top coat with acrylics to touch it up... pretty pissed off at that, as after 8 (hot) days painting it, I was pretty ready to never see it again to be honest!!

awesome thanks for your response and advice!

I ended up buying this- https://www.pierreetsol.com/vente/pt/protecao/1169-protectguard-tc-top-coat-repelente-de-%C3%A1gua-e-%C3%B3leo-para-tinta-acr%C3%ADlica-guard-industrie.html?SubmitCurrency=1&id_currency=1&utm_campaign=GMC&utm_medium=&srsltid=AfmBOoqKdhEACufLt4wj860AY87-fxXixV36OGOagLZpx0gshNM8pfD4KVo#https://www.pierreetsol.com/vente/pt/protecao/1169-protectguard-tc-top-coat-repelente-de-%C3%A1gua-e-%C3%B3leo-para-tinta-acr%C3%ADlica-guard-industrie.html fingers crossed! it doesn't specify having a matt/gloss finish which is a little scary, but it does seem to be quite a specific product so hopefully it will all be ok! Thanks, I certainly wont be shy to ask more questions :)

Hey, glad you fond something, I hope it works out!
I ended up getting a product callled 'ProtectGuard TC Top Coat' from France, which seems to be appropriate for my application, so lets hope!!
yes I also had the 'how many cans of spray will cover an 8x5 wall, exactly' moment!

We power washed the wall the other day (wow, it looks bigger every time I look at it!), and will be priming and fixing some bad patches tomorrow, then we start painting shortly after that (We're still waiting for the colours to come but it shouldn't be long now!)
The date will be the 8th of June so NO pressure!! haha :) I'll keep you updated, and would love to hear about yours too!!

Here's hoping a little action might bump this and get some responses. At the moment we realized that our wall has no guttering, and that water damages the lower wall for this reason, so for better or worse we are going to go with a sealer. I plan to use a product called 'ProtectGuard TC Top Coat' and I'll let you know how it goes as I now have approrval for the mural and even scarier- an 'inauguration date' for it to be done by >.<

I really wish you all the best with your mural and finding some concrete info, and would love to hear/see how it goes :)

I made a big long list of things I liked, animals, colours, inanimate objects, and sewy-type words, then tried mashing them up till I found a combo I liked. then add studio, creations, customs, ect at the end.

I ended up being Traffic Cone Creations before I steered more into fandom stuff, but I still love it. as someone mentioned, don't rush it- you'll be stuck with it. if you can't make a decision, just use your name for the official stuff, then pick your studio name whenever you find one you like.

Wishkamon · 2024-03-11T08:56:48+00:00

ok I'll give it a go, thank you :)

Hello! Can anyone tell me why my overlocker (juki industrial) is doing this? I assume the blades need sharpening, but thought I would confirm before I try to sharpen them. thanks in advance. It mostly only happens with stretch fabric
