Hi all, I'm finishing a new foam puppet today and tomorrow, and can't seem to make hair grafting work for my needs. The classic tip of using a fork-like device to punch hair into the "skin" of a puppet or art doll doesn't work for me. The hair looks great, but the slightest brushing against it will pull the hair off. I tried dipping the loaded grafting tool (needle with top of eye cut off) in glue, but all it does is stiffen the entry point, without adding much friction. The hair still pulls off. I'm using thick sewing thread, or fishing line, for the puppet I'm using right now. I want to punch it through a fuzzy fabric and into the stiff polyfoam sculpted body. Much appreciated! _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
