Fabric paints, or should I say some of them do work very well. My original examples here in UK were a bit hit and miss, but Jon Goodman sourced me a bottle that works brilliantly.(Have not got bottle to hand at moment but will give details if required). Unfortunately this brand does not seem to be available in the UK - probably not looked hard enough. All I will say is that the paint seems to be more durable where it is applied over actual fabric strands and not a coated bellows surface. As Harv says it dries to a nice finish, so I painted the whole of the outside surface of a small bellows - worn corners and undamaged bits - as an experiment. The result looked stunning, but after a time the paint on the undamaged areas started to lift in places. The damaged corners remained and still are light tight. This could be due to the initial preparation/cleaning being wrong or insufficient. I normally apply the paint to both sides of the hole/cracking and do it 'wet on wet'. |
