I punched slightly larger holes and more of them because the compressor shoots a lot more air, much quicker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck CV 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 Here are some others (sorry if I'm repeating what others have said) - Put it in a jar with warm water (1/3 dubbing, loose, fill to top with water) and shake it real good. Dump it out on a piece of screen or into a sieve to dry. The resultant felted dubbing is nice to work with. An earlier poster mentioned cat brushes. Be sure to use the pet brushes that are smaller versions of the wool carders used by hand weavers and spinners: paddles with handles, the paddles festooned with a batch of short bent wires that grab and pull the dubbing. Get a pair. Put dubbing on one, comb and pull through it with the other. They work great. All coffee grinders are not equal. The real nice ones, like Braun, have sharp points that are great for coffee beans but chop the dubbing into short, unusable dust or tangle it around the chopping blades. My old cheapo Mr. Coffee grinder, on the other hand has been renamed remarked with a Sharpie and is now known as Mr. Dubbing. It works great. Dull blades, no sharp edges.
