Chaylor Fenneli Liners

[Ferg]

I have the #195-2502 Interior, Ladies,Clutch from Chaylor-Fenneli. These have a thin layer of foam on the "glue" side with exception of the "fold" area which is a nylon type material. That area would not get glued, I know that much.

Have been told to just glue the perimeter and not the area of foam. This doesn't sound correct to me but I would like anyone that has used these liners to give their experience and how did

you do it.

BTW: I am going to use Upholstery Leather on this one, it is very soft.

Some glues destroy the foam. Tandy kits also say not to glue the foam.

I did an item a short time ago, and was wishing afterwards that I had removed the foam. Looks bulky, not so neat and trim.

I routinely glue green foam, purchased at Joann Fabrics, onto the backs of rifle slings and weight belts, then glue suede covers over the back and foam. I use two coats of rubber glue on each piece and it does not affect the foam negatively. This combination is secure enough to hold the package solidly in place for sewing.

Drying time between coats depends on the temperature and humidity. I find that on a typical day, with a temperature in the high 60's, and low humidity, a coat dries in about 10 minutes. An overhead fan helps speed this up.

The green foam is sold for making seats and chairs. I find that it has just the right density for padding leather straps and camera cases. It cuts nicely with a long sharp knife, or scissors. We usually buy it with a 50% off coupon, or wait for it to go on sale at 50% off, which is like every other month. The green foam is sod at Joann Fabrics stores in thickness ranging from 1/2 to 4 inches, by the yard.

Finding a cheap source of quarts of rubber glue can be challenging, but is doable. Call around your local office supply, sewing and craft stores. Also, stores that sell to schools stock quarts of rubber glue.
