If you use Fray Block, you know it is a liquid that comes in a tube and can be messy and difficult to use because it's in a tube and can come out too quickly. There is Fray Check (another brand), that comes in a plastic bottle and is more of a gel, and that might be easier to use until it starts to dry and get old and then it gets thicker, making it harder to come out of the bottle.
I have used both brands and I prefer the Fray Block that is liquid, so I came up with an easier way to use the fray Block and that is to squeeze it into an empty nail polish bottle (you can buy them empty).
Then all you do to use it is to paint the Fray Block onto the material. Easy peasy and no mess.

I don’t know anything about Fray Block, but I feel the need to defend my beloved Fray Check. I don’t get that it’s a gel (but it might be). It looks like liquid coming out of the bottle. I’ve never had it thicken and I’ve used every bottle to the last with the same flow results as when it is new. Even the times I didn’t sew for years the partially used bottle was always ready and waiting. I use Fray Check quite often but sparingly as it will dry stiff but it does its job. One bottle lasts me for several years never changing its consistency. I cap it after every use. Maybe that’s why I have no complaints about it.

This is a great tip! Thanks. I've never used Fray Block, but I like the idea of brushing it on!
ReplyDeleteI bought that fray block and never used it because of this so great tip. Where do you but the empty bottles? Store or amazon?
