- Tired of your mesh fraying? Not sure which product is best? In this video I test 6 different methods in an attempt to stop fraying of ribbon and deco mesh. FYI - these are only my opinions - not paid affiliate marketing.
Products tested in this video:
Dritz Fray Check
Aleene's Stop Fraying
E6000 Fray Lock
E6000 Spray Adhesive
Wood Burner
Impulse Sealer
Thank you for doing this. I really appreciated the comparison between the wood burner and impulse sealer. I ordered one this evening.
Hi Karen, Which one did you choose? I use them both, depending on the mesh. I just love being able to seal the edges and minimize the fraying.
@@Kitobby I chose the one you have. I have a wood burner, too, but I am not good enough yet to control my fraying. I am looking forward to trying the impulse sealer!
Very good information. Loved to see the kids helping. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
How do you get the mesh lined up to cut down the same "row"?
Thanks Tommy & Sarah. Great job guys👏👏
They said thank you! And from one proud mama - thanks for your support.
What setting is the impulse sealer on? I’m having a horrible time 😭
I put it on the hottest setting.
How wide a piece of mesh can you fit in the impulse sealer?
I was wondering that as well.
The sealer that i have is about 14".
@@Kitobby thanks
Thank you for this information. Been looking for something that would stop the freying. Do you know if all mesh frey?
I haven't met a mesh yet that doesn't fray even a little.
Very interesting. I have had the same thing happen with discoloration on ribbon. There is a product on Etsy called Less Fray Spray. I was wondering if you have tried that. It says it is for deco mesh.
No I haven't tried that spray. I found it on Etsy and just ordered it. I'll test it out! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for doing this! Can you share what brand impulse dealer you used?
Absolutely, I'm loving this one! It's the VVivid 12" impulse heat sealer. I got it off Amazon, here's a link... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YCH167Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
What did you set your Vvivid 12” impulse heat sealer on? I look at one like your’s on Amazon and in the description it said you set the set the heat to whatever you want.... I haven’t ordered it yet but am going to as soon as you tell me how to set the heat for mesh. It really looks like a neat way to cut mesh w/o fraying!!! So glad I am a subscriber of your website !!!! 👏👏🌟🌟🌟😃😃😃🌟🌟🌟
I fluctuate the setting depending on the mesh. For deluxe foil mesh - I set it all the way up to 8, for value or basic mesh I set it to a 5, I will usually test a piece first on a setting and go from there. My only recommendation is to hold down the lever a few times before actually putting any mesh in... this gives the heating element time to heat up.
What kind of impulse sealer are you using? I looked online and they look like a large (12”) mechanical bar that pushes down. Is that what you use?
Hi Diane, It's the Vvivid 12" impulse heat sealer. I'm loving this one so far! This is NOT an affiliate link, but here's the link to the one that I bought. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YCH167Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@Kitobby thanks for the info, I’ve put it into my Amazon cart.
@@Kitobby I got my impulses sealer today-that’s what I love about Amazon-2 day shipping!!! So time 1 day !!! I
I’m doing a project with pine cones now (which isn’t going like I though it would or should !) I may just put it away and try my heat sealer out on a patriotic wreath... I can’t stand to get get something new
and put it up until later--gotta tear into it and use it, wear it, or play with it 😂😂😂😂😂 your friend, Nancy
@@nancylopez3251 I don't think I could wait either. If you've been used to rotary cutting mesh and it fraying, I hope you'll love the impulse sealer. Don't forget to have something heat resistant under it. I have a heat resistant glass cutting board under mine. Let me know how you like it.
seems like a lot of work
