I apply the solution with a paint brush onto the shoulders, about where you would normally needle. The solution only goes as far in toward the crown as you would needle. Then I put a small amount over the crown. After this sets overnight, I reshape. I put enough on to the shoulders that the solution soaks in pretty close to the molding. --- Vince Mrykalo
