To glue the bag into metal purse frame is a handy work, everyone has their own techniques.
Now, I will share my experience that how to insert the bag into metal purse frame with UHU glue.
Before applying the glue, dry-fit the bag into the frame to check the fit. Check the bulk of the seam and trim seam allowance if necessary.
LET'S GET STARTED :
1) Spread a thin line of the glue along the channel from one hinge to another. Then let the glue to dry for a 3 – 5 minutes, this is very important, only when you find that the glue is sticky should you glue the bag onto the frame channel.
2) Use a toothpick (or something similar) to spread the glue around inside the frame channel.
3) Start from the centre of the frame, push the fabric edge into the channel of the frame, make sure that the centre of your bag is lined up with the centre of the frame.
4) Then push both sides of the bag into the channel of the frame, a flat-head screwdriver will be helpful to work the way around.
5) Repeat same step for the other side of the frame channel. Then use the flat-head screwdriver to work the way around from the outside, especially the four corners and hinge areas, if any glue found squeezed out, wait for about 2 - 3 minutes and then wipe it off.
6) Now allow for 30 minutes for the glue to dry thoroughly.
7) For a more secure finish, a purse frame crimper (available in our store) will be very helpful.
- Place some padding (felt or thick fabric) over the frame
- Gently apply pressure starting from hinge and working your way round
WELL DONE, BEAUTIFUL :)
