Flocking removal

[br67]

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

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!

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.

Thank you Jim and Bill - I'll give it a try

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.

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.

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.
