Remove liner before bashing Fed IV Deluxe?
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2016 12:57 pm
About to bash a new Fed IV Deluxe. I know I want to permanently remove the liner. Do you recommend removing the liner first?
Thanks

If you are going to remove it anyways why not, it will not affect the bashing process, might make it easier so you can actually reach the felt from inside and not have a cloth in your way.HJJr wrote:About to bash a new Fed IV Deluxe.

I was hoping you'd say that.

1. Remove the liner.
2. Take pair of scissors, start a whole and cut along the stitching.
3. Remove the plastic, then pull the perforated end along the stitching on the backside.
Great way to remove the plastic and keep the liner at the sane time.
With all my new Akubras, I used to remove the liners, clip away the plastic top piece, then re-install the liners.HJJr wrote:mcmanm wrote:i like the liners but not wild about the plastic. Here's what I do.

You've just given me a way and a reason to save the lining if I decide I want it back. Not a fan of the plastic either. Thanks
