Hello!
I recently decided I want to rework an old fursuit head I made about 2.5 years ago. It was a foam base but the moving jaw mechanism used completely failed and is now broken and crooked. So, instead of just trying to fix the jaw, i'm going to tear apart the entire head and de-fur it, reshape it and fix the jaw.
Now, since I am going to be refurring it, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a type of black fur that doesn't have the white backing. I'm not sure exactly what this is called, but the few furs I've been able to find in store that are nice all have white threads woven in.
If this is common in most furs, is there any way to colour that so the white doesn't show through? Last time I used it, the seams all showed white (mind you, I glued them then and learned my lesson..this time around im sewing the seams) and I'm concerned that when I take the clippers to shave it down, white will also show through.
So, in short...any good quality furs that dont have white woven backings and/or is there any way to colour or avoid it showing.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
