Thanks.

Great videos to learn, amazing work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I am struggling to attach the fleece to the mouthplate. Do you have a video to illustrate how you do it?? Thank you in advance.

[@SwazzleProductions]

We do!

[@sethp3d]

Are you going to do a video where you add the fleece on a head with a mouth plate? A bit interested in seeing how you do this.

[@SwazzleProductions]

Yes. Keep an eye out for it!

[@GarabatososPuppets]

Yes please!!! I would like to see how you place the fabric on the edge of the mouth, I would like to know if you sew the fabric or stick it on the edge of the mouth

[@SwazzleProductions]

We don’t sew it. It’s glued in place with Barge cement. Remember to work carefully in thin layers.

What type of sandpaper are you using on gaffer tape and wood?

[@SwazzleProductions]

Any medium grit will do.

We’ll do a video on this in the future, but in the mean time, we carefully glue the fleece in place using Barge cement and an applicator like a coffee stirrer or a qtip.

How do you clean your puppet fabric, I was making a puppet out of polyester fleece and when I was attaching the mouth, it left a little stain around the lip would there be any way to remove it?

[@SwazzleProductions]

If it’s Barge cement you’re trying to remove, try Barge thinner. Otherwise, we’ve had good luck with a q-tip and diluted Dawn dish soap.

Will Duct Tape work in lieu of GAFF Tape?

[@SwazzleProductions]

No
