Ramfins59 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Great job Tom. I prefer, and have good results, with either the wet, flat paints for the glue, or, thinned down (with water) Elmer's Glue. For me this avoids having to tape off the rest of the interior. Whatever works for you is good to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 the flocking I used is from 'The Model Car Garage'. I like the 3M as it's a one shot deal, I didn't have to re-do the flock application, and in person, it has a nice look to it, not too thick, or see thru.

Rusty Irons Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have had mixed results with flocking so I will give the 3M a try. When I wanted to make some floor mats I found that Model Master flocking over double sided tape gave me a perfect carpet look. Fast and easy.

John Pol Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I use masking tape with my flocking just make templates of the floor first transfer onto the sticky side of the tape. Once that is done spinkle the flocking onto the sticky of the masking tape glue it to the floor boards with elmers glue works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I never really got into the flocking thing but I recently tried the standard tried & true thinned Elmers & embossing powder & it worked fantastic! I won't hesitate to do it again. Not including the time it took to mask off the rear seat & door panels, (maybe 15-20 minutes) it took me all of 10 minutes to do it. well worth the time. Definitely prefer the looks of the embossing powder over the flocking too. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoRover007 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Elmers can work nice but you need the right watered down consistency with the white glue. The best results I've achieved were through spray can adhesive from autozone. Just mask off what you don't want sprayed. If you miss some spots then you can "patch" them with the white glue method.

chadrob30 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Recently purchased black embossing powder at Hobby Lobby. Also got some Elmer's spray adhesive. Works great and is simple to do. Can't believe I hadn't done it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I hadn't done it years ago. I think I'm going to try this as well and see how it comes out. Any pics? I'd love to see everyone's methods.

StevenGuthmiller Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Here's a pic of a '65 Chrysler interior done with Elmer's glue & embossing powder. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I like to use Elmer's Glue and baking soda for carpet. Build up is very minimal and I can paint it to match the rest of the interior. I primer over it with the rest of the interior, paint and dull coat. For some reason, the lighting in this photo makes the carpet look like it has a shine that it actually doesn't. It also isn't even close to the true color (Artesian Turquoise). Maybe my light was too close overhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
