Evostick - there are two types of evostick -the one that shoe repairers use to stick soles on shoes (red) - DO NOT USE THIS - it turns dark brown and stains and damages your lace.
and the green evow - which is used for woodwork and is a pva glue. From discussions with a couple of people when I made my first fan leaf (yet to be mounted some 10 years later) - the Green EvoW or Evowood or any good PVA is really good to prime the part of the fan stick that you wish to attach the lace too. All you do is water th PVA glue down to half and half glue water or even a little less and paint a fine layer onto the part of the fan stick that you wish to attach the fan to - because wood is porous the glue seals the wood and gives a better 'stick'. This principle is used to seal plaster before painting or even, as my dad did, seal the garage floor to make it water proof. However, it works just as well with fabric. Hopes this helps - when it comes to glue Dad and I are quite expert - it's just sticking the fan leaf to the fan sticks that I'm frighted off. If you are in the uk, creative beadcraft used to do a nice pva glue which you could stick beads to fabric with - I'm not sure if they still do - they do have a website - just search by their company name Regards Liz Beecher -----Original Message----- From: Jean Nathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2003 09:38 To: Lace Subject: [lace] Adhesives for fans Jeri and I have exchanged a couple of emails following my email to the list about Nancy Armstrong, which she thought should be posted to the list . So here's the whole thing in chronoligical order: >From Jean: <In her chapter on repairing fans, Nancy Armstrong in "The Books of Fans" lists Durofix, Evostik, Cascamite, Aerolite, Copydex, Araldite, Calaton, Cellofas and pastes such as Gripfix, as suitable adhesives either for repairing or attaching paper fan leaves to sticks. <snipped> ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the individuals named above.
