How to Cut Deco Mesh and Keep Mesh From Fraying
Deco mesh is prone to fraying. But don't worry, there are various methods you can follow to reduce or even prevent it altogether.
If you need to cut mesh for your project, it's best to use an alternative method than scissors. You should carefully measure out how much mesh you need and put it on a heat-proof surface. You can also mark where you want the cut to be made with a marker for precision.
A traditional soldering iron with a pointed tip can do the job, but for faster work, you should use something with a flat and wide tip like a flat-head screwdriver.
Press the tip of the soldering iron against the deco mesh. The wider edge of the iron's tip should be parallel to the end of the mesh. This way, you'll have more surface area to cut with. Hold it there for a few seconds until it melts through the fibres.
To effectively cut deco mesh, press the tip of a soldering iron against it, with the wider side parallel to the end. When using an iron to melt through fibres, it is important to make sure you have a larger area for the job. You should also hold the hot iron in place for a few seconds until the heat has melted everything through.
- To ensure optimal usage, it is advised to insert the tip of your tool or instrument in between two fibres.
- For a better result, move the iron in a in a back and forwards motion to make sure it properly cuts through the mesh.
- Begin cutting your deco mesh from the outside edge
- Work your way across the deco mesh. Lift the soldering iron and move it across the mesh to the next un-cut segment. Press it down again, and rock it back and forth until it cuts through the mesh.
- You don't want to cut the mesh because it will fray.
- The surface must be hard, otherwise the soldering iron won't cut through the mesh. It must be heat-safe too, otherwise you'll create a fire hazard
- Working with deco mesh can be a tricky task, but it doesn't have to be! With the right tools and techniques, you can easily work your way across the mesh and create beautiful decorations.
