Anyone clipping this weekend ? - Test pilot needed

[Ashf]

I'm trying some new materials for my custom stencils to make them a bit easier to apply.

Ours aren't due for a clip soon, so I need someone who is (genuinely) clipping this weekend to have a go with it and report back ASAP.

[Patches]

I am! My Avalons are due to arrive tomorrow!

Only going to do a trace clip though so not much use to you. Although I could be tempted to try a clip in template on her botty!

 

[jacks_mum]

me too, jacks got too furry.

Happy to help in any way.

 

[loopeepee]

Yes I am, defo. Just waiting for the rug to come back from the cleaners!

I would be very willing to help, also considering buying the FTB one we talked about last year!

[Blackhawk]

I'll be clipping soon too if it's any use!

 

[TheresaW]

Yes I will be "Again". Only clipped him about 5 weeks ago!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Me too. Only clipped 3 weeks ago but we've reach full "shag pile" effect this week.

Clipping Sunday, but how much depends on how still!!!!!!!!

 

[Ashf]

As most of you know, I only started Stencilbum this time last year and it has been a trial and error thing to see what works and what doesn't.

I'm keen to give the best product I can, and I've found that the application tape I was using was very sticky, which when used with the clip in designs was a bit of a fiddle to seperate due to the large surface area of the vinyl. I also found that the vinyl I was using was fine and sticky enough on a large area, but wasn't very grippy when the design had finer lines in it in the clip around designs (due to the small surface area of the hair)

I've had a swap around now and got materials which I'm hoping will make life a bit easier.

I'll offer one clip around, and one clip in design in these new materials.

As ever, you need a clean (calm) horse which isn't overly or underly hairy, and a set of sharp trimmers.

I'll throw in a couple of sample strips of vinyl as test pieces also for stickyness.

 

[jacks_mum]

so how can we help?

 

[Gingernags]

Clipping mine one night this week so we dojn't look like a furry pony at dressage on Sunday.

Quite happy to experiment if you want!

 

[Blackhawk]

Well one of mine will be having his first clip and isn't too hairy. He's quite large so there's a good surface area there

I'm clipping this weekend - Sunday probably. William would be up for having a stencil on Cocoa's bottom,(though I may not on Sienna's

) if that's any use - we're in Bristol.

 

[TheresaW]

As Mac was clipped about a month ago, he is hairy, but not too hairy!

 

[Ashf]

PM me with your requests, and the ones I choose will have them posted out tomorrow morning

(i'll need a postal addy also)

I am looking to order new vinyl in and am running these off with some samples I've got. As its fairly expensive, I need to know whether its up to the job before I jump in

I have my boy to reclip already! - dunno if its any use as he has not got big fluffy coat, but good few mm's of regrowth.

Email me at wizzi901@yahoo.com if I can assist at all.

Also have nice digital camera.

Thank you for all your responses

I've chosen the recipient for the clip around design, but I need an idea and an addy for the recipient of the clip in design stencil.

Those who PM'd me this afternoon didn't really give me an indication of whether this is what they intended to do with it so I have to ask again (sorry

)

I want to post it out tomorrow morning 1st thing and so I need to sort it now.

Anyone this weekend (or before) doing a blanket or trace type clip and leaving long hair on their horse will be able to use this stencil.

PM if you can please with your specific request and a postal addy to send it.
