alan123shooting Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I do cases for Giles Marriott, however I do buy cases and renovate and also word of mouth, but it’s purely a hobby I’m a retired social worker but a trained tool and gauge maker if I did it full time the enjoyment would wain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what glue do you use on the baize to stop it soaking through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan123shooting Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 You need to line case out first in baize then cover the bits in baize And glue in . The glue is pearl glue. this is a hot glue 2 parts water to 1 Of. glue heat via bam -marIe method put glue on the hard surface not the baize let it go tacky and smooth the baize let it dry . I did do a thread back in September which explains what to do. have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
