How to with tails

[Gerrit Viljoen]

After reading your post on the dyeing of Capes, I would say that you should just use a new batch. Saves you the extra steps of finding a way of re-tapering cheap fibbets.

Not the same scenario.Dyes take much longer than just cutting tails to a taper.Is there a way?

Cutting tapers on fibbets??? Yikes!

As far as I know fibbets are tapered by heat, so try a clothing iron - good luck. Waste of time imho, since fibbets are really cheap.

If it's too pricey to replace cut-off fibbets, buy cheap paint-brushes, they also have tapered fibres.

Put a lighter to them, it doesn't do a gradual taper, but does re-tip them so to speak.

For the ones you singe too much, you will be forced to replace them by buying a new pack.
