Hello /diy/ I have something different to ask of you. I need

Liquid starch, you will have to wait for it to dry though and if your BREAKTHROUGH involves the clothing getting wet then it won't work.

Would I be able to apply a coating thin enough that it doesn't add any thickness to the material? Because that is another key that I forgot to mention.

Look into varnish or plastidip

>considering the final goal of this

Well what the fuck is the final goal? I can think of like 5 different ways to achieve what you've asked, but without knowing it's purpose there's no point in thinking any methods through.

Plastidip looks like it would be a good fit, though I couldn't use the stretchy base material with it because after I cut it off the body I need to be able to cut it into further sections and lay them flat.

To be honest I'm building a fursuit.

One of the methods being used today to create a well fitted one is the creation of a "duct tape dummy". This requires several people to be on hand and who are willing to get there hands into some "tight" spaces. Basically what they do is wear a painters jacket, and slowly apply small sections of duct tape over the jacket, tightening the tape as more of the body is covered. The final result should be tight, but not uncomfortably tight, as this is now the template to be used to cut out the final pieces of material.

Doing it the way I'm thinking, it would remove a lot of that work.

You can get the material to harden using heat, gotta be careful, but at worst it will prepare you to yiff in hell.

>>1174029
Which material? The spandex, starch, varnish or plastidip?

If the spandex, I may be a degenerate, but I'm not a masochist lol.

Spandex or varnish, just use an open flame.

>>1174041
Sounds good! See you in hell :^)

>>1174027
dont... use any weird chemicals or shit like these guys are saying.. do your duct tape idea, but do it over one of these shirts. Be less to get in the way unlike the painter's jacket, it's already form fitting, and as far as friends not wanting to get in your tight spaces... well... can't help ya there... fortunately most furs I know are pretty gay and would love the opportunity. Shame I'm not gay or fur. Anyway, good luck with that... and stay away from weird chemical smears on spandex, and definitely fire.

>Not gay

I wouldn't trust him OP.

Yeah I wont be using any harsh chemicals, since they would have to sit on/next to the skin for hours. Reading up on that plastidip, I would have to sit still for a few hours to get a thick enough coat, not to mention the fumes.

After I made the thread I found out that there are products specifically made to stiffen fabrics, so I think I will just use that.

Thats why I recommended the liquid starch, its safe/non toxic/non flammable. If you can give it to kindergartners for papermacha projects, its probably safe enough for anon.

Life cast your self.


Then make a dressmakers form.
