Affaltar Report post Posted December 9, 2021 I made a hat for a friend, he put it in his suitcase for a flight and after it it looked like this. Two similar light stains. Any ideas why it happened and how to fix it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted December 9, 2021 Looks like it may have been in contact with a leaky bottle of something. Ask what it was packed with and how. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted December 9, 2021 I agree , it looks like a leaky bottle of something, such as alcohol based after-shave. Treat that panel by washing it down with alcohol or lacquer cleaner and try re-dyeing just that panel very carefully. It'll probably end up a different shade though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northmount Report post Posted December 10, 2021 Once you figure out what caused the stain, best option might be to use it to stain the whole cap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
