br67 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 hi, anyone have any tips for removing clocking from an interior. Have an original 68 Barracuda that someone had made a poor attempt at flocking. Have stripped the paint with brake fluid but flocking is proving to be stubborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Brandon, perhaps try oven cleaner? Here in the states, my go to choice of oven cleaner is Easy Off (Yellow Can). That should take most paints off where brake fluid won't touch it. They must have used lacquer I suspect, and I'm guessing the paint etched into the plastic and thus the flocking.Hope this helps!

crazyjim Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Try pressing down hard some real sticky masking tape. The flocking might pull up. Or you might try smearing some CA glue around, let dry thoroughly, get a blade under the CA and it might come up with the flocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br67 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Thank you Jim and Bill - I'll give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 too bad you do not know what type of glue they used. Depending on the paint/glue they used, it would b easier to guide you, but the yellow can easy off oven cleaner does a lot, as does Purple Power cleaner de-greaser.

pharoah Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It might depend on what they used to put it on with. I use a similar colored paint to put on flocking. some people use bottle glue. I don't know how you would get that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Every magazine article from back in the day recommended applying the flocking to wet paint, but a lot of guys used liquid cement instead. That might be the case here, meaning you're literally "stuck" with the flocking short of sanding it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
