LE SHAPE - 1 litre - Concentrated LE SHAPE - 1 litre - Concentrated
Ref: 1548

Many down breeds such as the Suffolk's, Hampshire's, Southdown's, Romney's and Rayland's are shown in a style which requires the wool to be "set". Generally they will be shown in a "shorn" with a fibre length of about 1 to 2 inches. The exhibitor seeks to give the wool a "firm" appearance and may wish to introduce and hold an element of "shape" without altering the natural style.

Le Shape for the tighter Body!

Traditionally used at virtually every show this is the stuff of champions! By spraying the fleece as you card, you can build up the required degree of "hold" to give you the close texture, which is the hallmark of the quality show animal. Now available either "ready mixed for immediate use" or in "concentrate form to be diluted before use" Apply continuously to the fleece until you achieve the desired effect. Further application can be applied, and no washing out of the fleeces after showing is necessary.

GROOMING TIP!
Once you have completed both the trimming and carding, finally before entering the ring use a "flattening " board to give that perfectly flat back and to shape the sides. Sprinkle a small amount of grooming oil on the board and spread over the surface. Using the board "iron" the back flat, the oil will give a "natural" lustre to the wool.

NB. A flattening board is a piece of smooth wood - ideally oak or elm about the size of an A4 sheet of paper and about 3/8th -inch thick, with a handle in the centre Looks rather like a plasters trowel but a bit larger! These were always used in the 1920-60's by the old showmen of the day.
