I love ur videos, it's so really helpful, pls I want to use the gel on my cotton fabric earrings to make it a waterproof aswell to ba able to last more longer, how do I start with the application ma?

[@AllieSewCrafty]

@@hobbystylesstarladies thank you! ❤ The gel also helps seal the fabric to any surface. You can either apply the gel, wait for it to cure and then cut the fabric. Or apply the fabric to your earrings surface, apply the gel and let it cure. Always test with some scrap fabric first to make sure it doesn't shrink before cutting or applying it to the surface. Hope that helps! :)

I’ve used odicoat and just use like a credit card…… it fits in the jar so no dumping and you can put it on a lot thinner. Works great!I usually use it on finished projects. ❤️

[@AllieSewCrafty]

Great tip! Thanks! Why I didn't think of that?! 😆😆😆

[@caralamont2572]

I was thinking something like an offset cake spatula might work better.

I tested OdiCoat on some samples a few years ago using a credit card edge but didn't really like the end result, and when sewing for a business the time involved didn't make it practical. Thanks for the comparison.

[@AllieSewCrafty]

Definitely! 😊 you’re very welcome ☺️

[@AllieSewCrafty]

You are so welcome! 😊

Just a thought... Could you attach interfacing first and then the Odicoat if you wanted a sheen? I might try that test just to see! Great video!

[@AllieSewCrafty]

I think you can add the interfacing first, but definitely test it because the "wetness" of the liquid vinyl or odicoat may create bubbles in the interfacing. Thank you! :)

@@tinamozingo6589 I've tried that but the interfacing delaminated from the fabric.

[@FicelleProductions]

I would not expect real waterproofing, just a little more "beefiness" for using quilt cotton on a bag. I also do my own waxing, which does not give a shine, but you don't have to wait. You can use it as soon as it dries. It is also water resistant. Anyway, thanks! I use the credit card for Odicoat, but a brush for wax.

[@AllieSewCrafty]

Waxing is something I would like to try in the future. I love the look of wax canvas :)

[@Blessedbeyondmeasure23]

Can it be used on used fabric bags

[@AllieSewCrafty]

Probably, just test on a little unnoticeable corner first.

[@RebeccaColon-s7n]

In reality it is a waste of money for that expensive little jar because eventually the fabric is never waterproof.

[@AllieSewCrafty]

I see what you're saying, it just add a little protection and makes it easier to clean :)
