    Silicone mats are great for under your cotton when applying OdiCoat. Once dry it peels off the silicone.

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  Год назад

      Yes. My go to interfacing for almost any bag is a cotton or poly woven interfacing, followed by a fusible fleece or Thermolam (thicker fusible fleece) if it’s on sale. Thermolam is a nicer look with a thicker style loft but it’s more costly. I like this combo for the lock and structure it gives while still keeping the bag flexible and easy to turn. It also doesn’t usually wrinkle like other interfacing. Hope that’s helpful :)

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  5 месяцев назад

      I have a stream fast model and I just do not use it with any water. I bought teflon oven liner material from Amazon, cut it to size and then I wrapped around the press plates to avoid anything sticking or causing an issue. You don’t need them but it is nice to do in case you press some interfacing the wrong side out, etc.

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  2 года назад +3

      You're welcome! You don't need three coats, I only do one coat which is enough to add water resistance. If you do add more coats you can tell a difference, it depends on the fabric but in general the more coats you add the more noticeable it becomes.

    Can I use a brush to apply the odicoat? I would think a brush would b easier to use & get the coating of odicoat better into the texture of fabric. Thanx much for video & answering my question.

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  Год назад +2

      I wouldn’t suggest it. You will have a brush texture on your fabric as well as bare spots/double coated spots. This will lead to uneven color in the end. The card is the only way I’ve ever been able to avoid a texture and get an even distribution. Sponges don’t get an even coat and the brush also leaves bare spots. Once you work with it for the first time, you’ll understand why you’d want to use the card. This medium is thick and can be hard to spread evenly. Each coat changes the color/sheen slightly so it’s important to spread each coat evenly. When you don’t, it becomes very obvious.

    I also love oidcoat, but have not had a great experience sewing it. I ended up applying it after making my bag to see if that would work better and it seems to work for me. I even used a Teflon foot but it still would stick to each other and the foot. That was after leaving it for a full 24 hrs. But I do have a question how many coats do we really need to use, I’ve been using 3 as that’s what all the other videos I watched about it said. I’m only getting 2 large purses to a container. Which is expensive for me

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  Год назад

      I do one coat, maybe 2 if I need to even it out. ThT would get costly fast. You can always do 3 but I have never found that necessary. Seems like it would be thick.

    Thank you for all the great information. I recently used OdiCoat on the bottom oval piece for the H2O to go sling. I applied it in a similar manner but I think in my zeal for a thin coating, I scraped it too much - causing me feel like I needed to apply 2 additional coats. I applied the 2nd and 3rd coats with a soft nylon bristle brush (for acrylic paint), taking care to keep brush strokes to a minimum. I live in the desert SW USA so it only took a few hours for each coat to dry. It gave the fabric a nice sheen but I think your application method is much better. (I'm planning to make your square bottom H2O hack and will coat my cotton exterior!)

    Great video! Can you iron the fabric after it’s been treated?

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  Год назад +1

      With a Teflon sheet or something between the treated fabric and the iron, yes. I have teflon sheets on my heat press and I press the fabric after. Ironing the treatment directly could easily result in scorch marks or transfer onto your iron. If I’m a pinch, parchment paper can be used in place of Teflon sheets.

    Hi, thanks for the very thorough explanation and possible questions regarding the products. Question, I would like to use it to waterproof lunch bags that I make of cotton. Would you recommend OdiCoat for lunch bags? Thanks in advance.

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  3 года назад +2

      Yes you can. I found this on their website about using it around food:
      "2 coats is water resistant, 3 coats is water proof. Odif OdiCoat can be used with indirect contact to food related projects: aprons, tablecloths, placemats, pie bags, etc... You must wrap foods before placing them in an Odicoat treated bag."
      More info on that can be found here: www.odifusa.com/catalogue/fabric-adhesives/odicoat-gel-coating

    just watched your odicoat video, do you pre wash all your cotton first

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  9 месяцев назад

      I don’t pre wash any fabric for bags ever. I do however press them with starch first. I like the crispness and it really pulls all the fibers in tightly. It’s. Personal preference and not necessary but I much prefer the outcome and feel when I starch and press cotton first. This also eliminates shrinkage that might occur, which can sometimes happen when the Odicoat dries.

    Great video, thank you! I have two questions, On a colored fabric, does it dull the color or enrich it such as the browns in your video? Also, when turning a bag, does it cause any creasing or marring on the fabric? Thank you in advance. :)

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  Год назад

      If you’re very rough with your fabrics while turning, it could cause a slight mar but I’ve not had that issue and I’ve not particularly gentle. If the fabric had any pattern on it at all, you can’t even tell. I’ve only ever seen a mark on an all solid, dark colored fabric. I’ve birthed lots of bags with it and never had an issue. I love this stuff.
      As far as what it does to colors, it definitely enriches them.

    I waterproofing a pre-made cycling rack trunk bag. Is it is UV (sunlight) safe or can it discolour? Does it bond seams well if you use it thick so that they stop ripping apart?

    • @EmporiumThreads
      @EmporiumThreads  2 года назад +1

      I am not 100% sure about the UV discoloration. I also don’t know about the seams. I don’t think it would bond a seam but it could help prevent light fraying if you do multiple coats.
      You could write to the company and inquire about the UV aspect?
      Or do a test on a light material and then leave it in the sun to see how it looks. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help.

      @EmporiumThreads  3 года назад

      You do not have to interface cotton, though I recommend it (especially for any exterior pieces) to maintain the structural integrity of the item. In the video I did not interface the lining of this small pouch. I did interface the outer pieces and I highly recommend if you are going to interface, it is done before applying anything to the cotton, especially Odicoat. Interfacing first makes the process easier. Hope that helps!

      It can yes. I have not had much shrinkage but- I do preshrink with starch/pressing prior to working with any cotton or canvas. It’s just a good practice I like to keep because I love the way it makes the fabric feel and behave. This may be why I have not seen much shrinking from the Odicoat, it’s preshrunk.
