using flock for the first time

[trigger gta]

Hey guys. What do you use to glue the flock in place. Any tips on how to do it would also be good

[Jared]

i use elmers white glue to glue it. one thing to remember is to put a base color down first. so if it's black flocking. put flat black or semi flat black on the areas to by flocked otherwise the plastic color will show through. and when i apply the flocking i like to use a sifter to get the clumps out so it goes on nice and even! hope this helps!

do you have to thinn the glue first? is it brushed on? does the gloss of the glue show through

[Jared]

i use a smaller brush to get into tight corners. it can be washed out with water later. the glue tens to dry flat or semi flat, so there really is not worry for a "shine" to show through.

Scott, if you'd like.............you can click here for a mini tutorial on flocking I did when I was building my '59 Buick.

You'll have to scroll down a bit to get to the section, but pictures are worth thousands of words! :wink:

One key thing about flocking is that it's best to do it in sections and not all at once............at least that's worked best for me.

Hope this helps!
