"Hi Elaine, do you have any tips on how to deal with stiffening the brim in the case of an upturned velour or Melusine?  I'm wary of the white marks or fading if I add stiffener there. thanks^"

"Hi Elaine .Thank you for your message it was helpful "

"Hi Viorica, To maintain the soft surface of the Melamine felt I never try to stiffen on top surface but rather 3 coats on inside allowing time to completely dry in between & prefer to use solvent based stiffener for this felt elaine"
