[Nfb-krafters-korner] non-skid solutions

The one concern I would have about the caulk is in the dryer.  Caulk is designed to get wet in the shower or along the sink, but I would be concerned about the heat of a dryer on the product.

I am sorry I am behind here as I have been  trying to give myself a break on the weekends  from email.  Now catching up.

Yes, I have been told by a dear friend about using the calk ing stuff that you use for filling tiles or windows.  It has a gun handle and tips and just make some squiggle lines on the soles.  You can also purchase that stuff you were talking about to put on the feet of blanket sleepers. [The raised dot stuff.  They sell it in JoAnn's in a package and there is enough in the package to do a couple of pairs.  You need to cut it and stitch it to the sole of the socks or foot part of your pattern piece.[if you are making something footed].

Would something like small pieces of carpet underlay work?  Just a thought!

Joyce said a while ago to use caulk, like what you put around to seal a bathtub or shower. I have not tried it myself. We have a bunch of hospital socks with the little rubber things on the bottom making them nonskid, so I know what you mean.

Joyce what say you.

Hi, all,

My mom just sent me a link for some bulky socks, and I wondered: I’d like to non-skid the soles, and from another forum, I found out some people are using either Puff-paint or a spray product. Has anyone ever had experience making the bottoms of slippers/socks non-skid? Preferably, I want something durable enough to go through the wash, and that will not damage either the socks or other laundry. Also, something easy to apply eyes-free. Any thoughts?
