hawkeye10 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I need some peel and stick felt to put on the base of the cross I made. What I am finding is a wide range of pricing and maybe quality (I am not sure about quality) So I need your help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharleyL Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) I do the same as Scrolling Steve. I don't buy much, but usually buy it from Hobby Lobby with their coupon when I do need some. I have a Hobby Lobby store about a mile (3 miles by road) from me. If you are placing it into a box bottom, dealing with the sticky part and it's desire to stick everywhere except where I wants it to, I cut the piece of felt to size and then just remove about 1/4" of the backer along one edge. Then I position this edge in the box and get it stuck where I want it. Then I fold the felt back and remove the rest of the backer and then slowly and carefully lay the felt down on the box bottom, taking the time to make certain that there are no wrinkles or air bubbles under it as I do. This takes a bit of practice. It doesn't stretch while the backing is on it, but can stretch a little with the backer removed. For the cross, I would carefully cut the shape about an 1/8" smaller than the cross all the way around, and then apply it in a similar manor to the box bottom above, keeping as much of the backer on it as possible as you go. Remove just a little at the top end first, then get it stuck to the cross back side and aligned the way it needs to be, and then slowly work your way down the cross, peeling the backer off from under the felt just before you stick that area to the cross. You will be able to distort the felt slightly in the area between the part that is stuck and the part with the backer still on it, so you will be able to make small position adjustments as you go, but you will not be able to make bigger adjustments. Get it started in position and angled as close to perfect as you can when you start, It will be very difficult to get the felt off if you have to do it over.

JimErn Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Walmart -mine had a pack of 12 8x10 peel and stick felt - sorry I can not remember what it costs, but it was reasonable, compared to ebay or amazon with shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After peeling off the paper, I put a drop of super glue on the plastic tab before applying, as I don't trust their adhesive to last for years. jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I have used the pick and stick felt on several of my fretwork boxes. Initially, I would cut the felt to size and try to make it fit and have to lift and reapply to stretch it out or trim with a razor knife to cut off the excess. I now sacrifice some of the depth of the box by cutting a 1/8 or smaller board to size and apply felt to that first and trim to fit. I use contact cement on bottom and drop into base of box. If I have to remove it for some reason, I can use a dental pick to pull it up to rework. My source is either Michaels or Hobby Lobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I buy from all the places. Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart Woodcraft is where I get my velvet and not felt. I buy those dots from National Artcraft.com I use them on all my desk items and even on wall hanging items. never had any come off after they were applied and in fact they become even harder to get off with time.

CharleyL Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 We weren't talking about applying feet, but covering the whole back side with felt.. Applying foot pads is easy. Cutting and applying a cut-to-fit sheet of felt is a whole different problem. Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
