PAKIGE!!
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
a sacrifice has been made upon the altar of science
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
to be clear the sacrifice is the mini pie tin. those were intended for the next work potluck
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
it came out firmly in the fucking around side of finding out but that's fine. science
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
mad science is occurring
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
current observations: once they're actually wet they take dye like champs. however. water does Not creep up them or spread like it does normally on cotton. unclear if this is due to some kind of fabric treatment or if they're just Like This
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
either way it can PROBABLY be mitigated by dyeing presoaked
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
talljar here serving as demonstration: the regular twill tape and the webbing have been in it for the same amount of time
zєℓ∂ιѕαѕтєя ❀
huh, interesting
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah so I'm going to throw some in the washer shaker with the industrial detergent and see if that makes any difference
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
the good news: it looks like ALL of my goodwill elastic has a cotton shell
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ

Your science is fascinating
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
a big part of being a craft goblin is knowing your materials!
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
if presoak doesn't work the way I hope i have other things I can try
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
but I may end up having to put gutters on the list if I have to do a twostep process bc that rack has a max length of 28 inches
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
which MIGHT squeeze in a thigh band but a waist or any of the longer strips for a full harness would be right out

My fiancé recently found Rocky Mountain Leather Supply online and got leather from them and it’s soooo good. And affordable!
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
when I actually get into leather being able to actually look at it will be super helpful but I will check them out
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
tandy's collection of rainbow hardware isn't as good as Amazon but I would prefer to buy from somewhere a little more reputable
