dantewallace Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find black flocking. Every other color I need I can find but black seems to always be discontinued or sold out everywhere. Anyone have any leads? This is really holding me behind on three of my current builds.

cobraman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Did you try ebay ? There is usually some there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Are you painting the interior black? If so, use white flocking and then paint the interior black. I saw an article a while back where the author mentions using white flocking on all of his builds and then paints the area whatever color the rest of the interior will be. Try looking in the scrapbooking section at a Hobby Lobby, Michaels or A.C. Moore for embossing powder, said to be more realistic and cheaper.

mrknowetall Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ken's (Fuzzi-Fur) black flocking is number 103. Detail Master discontinued theirs, as did Testors. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Check Hobby Lobby or Michael's if you've got one nearby. Michael's usually has the black flocking, and HL recently started carrying black embossing powder which is even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at embossing powder at HL yesterday and it seemed to be to granular looking for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't care for the granular look of the powder, I will look for the velour at Michael's tonight, Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Try www.modelempireusa.com. I believe they have Ken's Fuzzi-Fur. They don't sell a whole lot of it and you may luck out. They may have a few vials. Get the phone # from the website and give them a call. **Went on their site to the online catalog...scroll down to page 56 for the Fuzzi-Fur. $2.29 ea. + shipping.

I didn't go for them because I wanted something locally or within the US. I guess I have no choice but to order from overseas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 And if you're using it all the time look up Donjer products on the web. You can buy in bulk and never run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm confused. A huge amount of the references you've been given are from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Embossing powder does look granular (hey it's powder after all), but once applied looks a great deal more in scale than chopped up carpet fibers. Get a "shaker" (the top usually has a bulk "applicator" and then a smaller side that looks like a salt shaker) in clear, paint out to match the inferior, and for $2.89 you'll have whatever color carpeting you want for a few dozen models.

I picked some up from Michaels for $5. I figured the heck with it, I'll try it out and order flocking in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chev12olet Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Check Hobby Lobby or Michael's if you've got one nearby. Michael's usually has the black flocking, and HL recently started carrying black embossing powder which is even better. This is the truth embossing powder is way better than any flocking. Easier to use and the end product is smoother than any fuzzy fur and the amount for the price is even better just use a 40% coupon go look in the scrapbooking section in the Martha Stewart section. But if you looking for that 70's shag style carpet then if you really really can't find black then like mikemodeler said do the white thing.
