The MANDATORY lifesaverMust use when: shaving fur, sanding, using strong glues, doing anything that involves fumes or particulate matterOptional when: sanding small parts, working with foamWhy?
When you shave fur fibers (or work with any material in a destructive manner), you release a storm of airborne particles that are very easy to breathe in.
Even worse, faux fur is made of plastic, meaning those particles will be microplastics.Anything that entersyour lungs will stay in there forever and will likely cause a plethora of health issues going forward (such as groomer lung).To avoid that, you want at least a mask that can filter all the particles, and an even better one if you're working with strong glues or anything that can emit fumes.A dust mask will do in an emergency, but do look up covid masks as well and find one that fits your face properly.
Most common suggestions are PFF2, PFF33 and N95 masks._{If you're prone to ear-related problems, wearing earplugs may help as well.}

The cool upgrade to the humble maskA mask is good, but a respirator is even better and safer!Most of our contributors are a fan of this respirator, but you can easily find even better ones both online and at local stores.

The thing you must never forget to doJust the basic stuff will go a long way: periodically open your windows and regularly clean up your room after shaving/working.Air purifiers in your workspace can help a great deal!
There are many models, from cheap to expensive, able to purify the air of small and bigger rooms, etc.
Sadly we can't help much, as you're gonna have to figure the best model for your needs out depending on your budget and workspace.Some A/C units also have specialized filters for air purification, but that depends on the model and it's pretty rare.Regardless, always remember to change the filters and never forget your mask!

You wanna keep your hands healthyDifferent materials are better suited for different activities:
- Nitrile gloves are perfect for handling uncured resin or other toxic substances.
- Heatproof gloves are great for handling hot glue gun or a soldering iron, so that you can avoid burns.
- Cut-resistant gloves are made for using sharp tools safely.
- Latex gloves can be useful for handling non-toxic glues without getting it all on your fingers.Are gloves always needed?
Probably not.
Will you be very thankful you were wearing them "needlessly" when an accident actually happens?
Yes, oh yes you will.

Sometimes, a whole glove is objectively too much for the task at hand, but you might still want to partially protect your fingers while sewing!
Friction burns from the thread may be small, but your fingers will feel them eventually!These are some of our tested methods, pick the one more comfortable to you!
- Drawing tablet glove (choose the type and thickness)
- Finger support bands
- Finger braces (really terrible at their original job, but perfect for protecting your ring finger from the threat of thread!)
- Medical duct tape (buy it as large as possible)

You might want to keep your eyes healthyUse them when: shaving fur, sanding, using strong glues, doing anything that involves fumesThey're not as mandatory as other safety items on this page, but better safe than sorry.If you already wear glasses, they can be enough of a shield, but do pay extra attention if you're wearing contacts!

Type: Hot Glue

Trusted Stores
- [x]( )TBAGood for:

Type: B7000

Trusted Stores
- B-7000 in different sizes
- Secondary linkGood for: gluing magnets, small touch-upsThis glue is very easy to remove with the right method, so much it practically has an integrated Ctrl+Z button, even after years!
You can just break the glued pieces apart with the right amount of force and leverage, and after that you need a bit of alcohol to remove the residues.Best option we've found to glue magnets (NEVER use hot glue).
Also an effective method for reinforcing the weak edges of fur backing, just make a tiny hem and glue it down.

Type: Bicomponent Adhesives

Trusted Stores
- First Purchase
- ActionGood for: gluing together PLA piecesQuick trick: Before buying the cheaper one from Action, get the more expensive ones that include the little spatula and tray necessary to mix the two components.
The adhesive will not work on their specific type of plastic and you can reuse them indefinitely, as you can remove the dry adhesive with just a little leverage from a screwdriver.When you push out the two components, do pay attention that you're putting pressure equally on both sides: the proportion between the two components has to be at least 40-60, otherwise the reaction won't happen properly and it will never dry.If the proportion is correct, you will need to press the pieces together for just 1 minute.
After that, you just gotta wait 5 more minutes for the pieces to settle, then you can move onto gluing other pieces.
Leaving the glued pieces to fully dry overnight is suggested.In the pics you can see a deer PLA head that was printed in smaller pieces and had to be glued together. It has held perfectly for years.
Honestly you can use it for other stuff as well, just check compatibility.
_{We can confirm that it works wonders for repairing broken ceramics and refrigerator shelves!}

ListingsIt's hard to suggest a particular type of scissors.
The thing is, everyone's hands are different and quality may not be consistent.
Our method is to just buy any kind of scissor that feels good in your hand, then test it on all the materials we usually use.
The pic I put here is my scissor arsenal and their respective function.Grandma's trick: in a pinch, you can use tin foil to sharpen your scissors.
Must be done with caution and only after practicing on scissors you don't care about, as you gotta learn how to do it properly with the right tin foil or you will mess them up permanently.
It's also just a quick fix, so if you really care about your scissors, you should get them sharpened professionally!

Type: Beard Brush

Listings
- Any local generalist store or Aliexpress listingGood for: short fur and facesGood in general to brush short fur (and technically minky), both for maintenance and during shaving.

Type: Slicker Brushes

Listings
- Any local generalist store or Aliexpress listingGood for: long furCommon and easy to find.
Must be used delicately on long fur only.For fursuit maintenance: buy only those with ball-tipped pins.For fursuit making: you'll also need the wire pins version for certain techniques where you'll need to "ruin" the backing in order to obtain certain effects.The shape of the pins will change the results on the fur.
Slicker brushes with bent pins will be more aggressive by design, ripping out a lot more fur than flat/straight pins. The more it's bent, the worse it gets.

Type: Bags

Fursuit type: partials (better if foam or TPU)
Transport: car or short-distance train
Ease of transport: usually high
Safety: low
Price: usually cheapKeep in mind that you may lose anything not secured, any passerby can reach into it, and that any impact will be felt by the fursuit itself (not a problem for TPU/foam, but PLA may suffer from it).Ikea bags are the cheapest option, but any big-enough bag that can contain your fursuit and won't break easily is just as good.
Moving bags and big-enough duffel bags are also perfect and even more versatile for the task, but a bit more expensive.

Type: Plastic Boxes

Fursuit type: partials (read: what you can fit in it)
Transport: car
Ease of transport: low
Safety: medium (can be improved with luggage straps with locks)
Price: cheap/averagePlastic boxes come in all shapes and sizes, but you want one that has a lid that locks onto the box and isn't see-through, and even better if it has handles to make transport a bit easier (it's still cumbersome).KLÄMTARE from Ikea is a good example of what you should be looking for.
It's a favorite of ours to bring our fursuits to conventions and storage at home.

Type: Fursuit Backpacks & Bags

Fursuit type: partials
Transport: any
Ease of transport: high
Safety: medium
Price: average/expensiveIf you want a more stylish option to showcase your fursuit as you walk around, fursuit backpacks come in all shapes, styles and prices, while fursuit bags can be custom-made._{A regular backpack can do as well, but you might want to avoid using that with a PLA head.}

Example 1: Fursuit backpack from Mofu Mofu's store
Example 2: Custom fursuit backpack by StuffedTailsFursuits

Type: Suitcases

Fursuit type: depends on size and material
Transport: any
Ease of transport: high
Safety: medium/high (can be improved with luggage straps with locks and trackers)
Price: average/expensiveA suitcase is the most obvious answer to "how do I bring something with me on my travels?".The size of your suitcase will dictate what you can bring with you, but it will also depend on the material of your fursuit: a PLA head might not fare well in an ill-fitting and badly-packed suitcase, while a foam/TPU head can be squished for the duration of the travel in a hard-shell suitcase without worry.

Type: Rolling Toolboxes

Fursuit type: any (even heavily-padded fullsuits)
Transport: any
Ease of transport: high (heavy but with wheels)
Safety: high (can be improved with luggage straps with locks and trackers)
Price: expensiveThey have many names, but they're normally used to move fragile tools and equipment.
They can be found in all shapes and sizes, you can add padding to them, and they're built to take a lot of abuse and (though we all know airports are magical places where anything can break).Definitely the most expensive, spacious and cumbersome option with a few drawbacks, but probably the best option for long-distance travel alongside a huge hard-shell suitcase.

Good for: disinfecting your fursuitFursuit sprays are pretty much a must-have for fursuiters, and it's not uncommon for fursuit maker to provide them to clients.
A regular disinfectant will do, but it's fun to personalize them.What you need to make sprays is:
- 70% isopropyl alcohol
- water
- essential oils
- literally nothing elseGeneral reminder 1: you MUST disinfect your fursuit after every use in order to keep nasty bacteria away.
General reminder 2: regularly disinfecting is not a replacement for washing your fursuit.

When it comes to merch, there's little to no end to what you can make. It's a matter of what you're looking for and what's a good price and quality to you.The web (and probably your city) is full of smaller/local stores that offer plenty of choice for merch, so it's impossible to list them all.
