Do you prefer Fray Block or Fray Check? I just tried Fray Block and it ran all over the place. I frequently use Fray Check. Got some Fray Check where it shouldn't be. On the bottle it says to remove the spotting with rubbing alcohol, but haven't tried it yet. Does anyone use anything else to stop fraying?

It acts like a glue on material. You use it to stop things from unraveling/fraying

You can use a clear nail polish

Gosh, maybe one with sparkles? People would wonder what I was up to! That would probably work well on my jeans.

I use fray block but i open it and put it all in an old (clean) nail polish bottle. Makes it much easier to control using the nail brush.

That's a great idea! Would certainly solve my problem. If it dries out in the bottle or on the brush, how do you clean it up a little?

I use Aleene's Stop Fraying. They all seem to do about the same thing. Just be careful, because if you use very much, then you will have very stiff results.

I hit the wrong button.
I also apply it by putting it on my finger and then dabbing it on to my project. More control that way.

I use Fray Check, but it's just a dab on the thread ends.

I just use Fray Check. It works well for me. I brush it on with a nailvarnish brush. It saves a lot that way.****

I purchased a product that never dries..it remains tacky. It was rec'mended by the sales girl and I should take it back. It was neither of these...it was a product to stop fraying...should I say what it is? Anyway, I had always bought Fray Check, and now I am a stronger advocate for Fray Check! There is a newer one out I hear that is far superior to it's predecessor! Wow! Improvements on a great product...it must be miraculous!! I have never used Fray Block, so I can not say:>) I have used clear polish in a pinch and it does well too.

I put some rubbing alcohol on a qtip and rubbed it on the spot that the Fray Check made on the fabric where it got where it wasn't supposed to go. It did make the spot disappear. Good thing I read the instructions on the bottle!
