Lynn McMasters says: "A concentrated solution of Gelatin. I usually dissolve one package of Knox gelatin in about 1/3 cup of water in the microwave. It takes something under a minute. Brush that on the under side and slip the hat on the block that has been covered with plastic wrap to dry."
I did this with a flat brim, so my "hat block" was just a flat surface. Hope this helps.
