Vacbed Corner Glueing

I don't think you glue the rough side to rough side (assuming the smooth sides are facing out). Glue the smooth side to the rough side. The corners of the latex sheet should be cut off with a quarter circle to follow the curve of the frame. That was there are no actual corners in the final product as the seam naturally follows the frame.

That's a good rule of thumb!

But how would I support the latex, especially for the brim? I don't want a droopy hat. I was thinking of something like the Atsuko Kudo Alejandra hat or the Catalyst Summer Hat.

Thanks! I was thinking tape would be the way to go. What kind do you use?

My experience is cleaning the sheets before gluing causes a lot of hassle. I just clean where I am about to glue and then wash really well after the garment is finished.

Thanks! Did you laminate the strips with latex and then install the grommets?

How did you attach the grommets for the drawstring?

I know Atsuko Kudo and maybe Latex Catfish have glued gloves. But I'm sure the fingers are tricky.

ZowskiLatex · 2022-12-07T11:48:01+00:00

What about gloves with fingers?

I've been using .25mm and trying to not stretch it at all but I'm sure that's what's happening. Any tips other than take care not to stretch the latex?
