FWA FURSUIT REPAIR!
14 years ago
General
I will be available for repair work at FWA for a few hours every day. I will charge a rate of 30 bucks an hour for non-TCF suits. TCF suits can be repaired for free.
The services include.
-Touch up airbrushing
-Machine sewing
-Re-gluing
-Minor fabrication (new buckram for eyes, spare claws, etc)
-Zipper repair
If it is something not listed above, I may be able to help. keeping in mind I will only be taking on small projects, and if it is too big of a job I reserve the right to turn down work.
It is all first come, first serve. You can wait as I work if you like.
As mentioned, it will be for no more than a few hours a day, so call to find out if I can help.
Add this number to your phone. It couldn't hurt to have it on you if you had a fursuit emergency at a con.

Other things to keep in mind. Many makers have different techniques that may not be compatible with the materials I bring. Though I stand by my work, I could very well be voiding your suit's current warranty. Be sure to ask your maker before hand. Almost every maker I have met is willing to repair your suit. I would recommend you talk to them if you have time to before the con. as they know your suit in and out, and better than I ever could. Think of me as an emergency service.
This can be a rather touchy subject for some makers, as you can step on toes for more invasive repairs. I wanted to mention that point, and for the record state that I respect trade secrets. If you are a maker, and don't want me to fix your suits, or just have general concerns, give me a call or email. We can chat about it, maybe set up some rules, and make sure we nip concerns in the bud before they become problems.
Question! Do you plan on being at AC offering similar repairs?

OP
perhaps. If I do attend AC it will come down to how I get there. I am driving to FWA, so I can bring up my equipment. Flying is a little harder to do that with.

I'm driving if you need some supplies. I don't have an airbrush though.
