    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    If i was going to make my own (and I'm seriously considering it). I'd go "light" on the mix and slowly add additional shellac. You can always add more, but once it's mixed, your stuck. The mix I liked was the 1 oz. Shellac flake to two liters (1/2 gallon) of alcohol. If its not enough add a...

    I had to do a triple -take on that hat band "bow" (or whatever that would be called). How the HECK did that grosgrain ribbon not fray after nearly 100 years?? :confused:
