Cheap, quick, easy, and perfect. I bought a 1/2 pint ($3) of clear shellac, used 91% alcohol ($1) and a mixture of 4:1. I took 8 oz. of 91% alcohol and 2 oz. of clear shellac mixed in a spray bottle. Brush hat clean, then sprayed several coats until damp on upper and lower side of a 3 yr. old mink color fur felt Stetson Temple ($229) which would no longer hold shape. Sprayed lower side first. After approximately 30 minutes when lower side was no longer tacky, I sprayed the upper side of brim. Drying time was approximately 30-45 minutes. I shaped the brim as it dried and let it set overnight. The stiffness of the brim was absolutely perfect as was the shape with NO discoloration. I could not have been more pleased. NO problems, quick, easy, worked perfect, at a cost of ONLY $4. Cheaper than any other product sold or advised (shellac chips).
Great job brother. The purple made the hat pop. Perfect color for that hat. I also love working on hats and enjoyed watching someone else , thanks brother.
Thanks for making the video. I pick up a lot of hats at the thrift store that have not had any tender loving care and your video has showed me how to install a new hat ban and a ribbon for the crown. Thanks a lot!
Good work. I restored 3X beaver hat, no beaver, with hot water and iron. Put in Gus crown and flat brim. Hat experts would not do restorative work as they said hat was not beaver but just wool felt. It's perfect for here st the hideout.
I can not even tell you how many good hats I have got at thrift store , I clean them , Steam them , And shape them . Something I love collecting . But I am beginning to run out of room . LOL
Nice. This is a wool felt hat? How often do you need to spray with stiffener? I laugh when these expensive beaver felt guys say they dont wear theirs in the rain.... Wool is cheaper and you wear a hat whenever. A beaver-wool-rabbit mix might be better but they are expensive so.. Again nice job.
Since the title of the video is Kahl Hat Stiffener, I am going to guess it was that, not water. That hat was wrecked beyond tea kettle steaming and love.
@@TheGeorgio64 he does it this way because the hat even if steamed won’t hold its shape. Some hats may need stiffener so it can hold that shape and not go back to its previous shape.
Muy mal trabajo! Lo podrias haber lavado con un jabon liquido. Dejar secar. Lijar, pasarle cepillo., de ahi a pasarle el alcohol y fuego para dejarlo bien liso Para endurecer con goma arabiga es lo mejor ya que dura mucho tiempo y resiste el agua asi la horma queda y es muy durable ...

Hi. What was you spraying on the hat before ironing it?
water, you could also use the iron on steam setting
Since the title of the video is Kahl Hat Stiffener, I am going to guess it was that, not water. That hat was wrecked beyond tea kettle steaming and love.
@@BaronEurchild rewatching it, I can see the label of the hat stiffener now. I'd steam first and then add stiffener, but that's just me.
@@TheGeorgio64 he does it this way because the hat even if steamed won’t hold its shape. Some hats may need stiffener so it can hold that shape and not go back to its previous shape.
