what is flocking? help?

[crazyjim]

Never heard of the stuff.

[cobraman]

Same here, never heard of such a thing. Do girls like fuzzy nails ?? : )

[Chriswa]

I've added a picture for you guys, I guess some people like fuzzy finger nails????? Wierd

[cobraman]

That may be worth a try. I'll have to ask my wife or daughter to look for some.

You might try a Sally Beauty supply store. They have been in business for many years and they are everywhere. When I recently went back to Lafayette Indiana I was surprised to find one by the Kmart on 38 across from the mall. They have stores all over the valley here. There are some really cool nail polishes available these days.

I did a search on Evilbay. There are several auctions. Many "BUY IT NOW" with free shipping from HONG KONG.

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work but you may have trouble getting anything other than bright colors though.

It looks like it works the same as a simple bottle of embossing powder or that flocking powder to me. Want it half price, or even 40% off, go to AC Moore, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby with a coupon...problem solved real quick. Embossing powder isn't fuzzy but, that flocking sold at Michaels is because it's flocking but, ground finer like embossing powder.

does wal mart carry flocking material

[Erik Smith]

Look for embossing powder in the craft section. Not exactly flocking, but unless your going for a shag carpet look, it's closer to scale. Apply the same way as flocking.

[cschick]

thank u!!!!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Miceals has flocking and embossing powder.

If you get white embossing powder you can spray it to change the color.

I've looked at Hobby Lobby and even the store clerks can't seem to find it. What section is it in?

[91blaze]

I use embossing powder from Hobby Lobby. They don't specifically have flocking.

[jrherald420]

Embossing powder is in the Isle with the stamps. Mine has 2 racks one on each side of the Isle.

[Wonderbread Kustomz]

Micheals may carry Martha Stewart flocking... But the last time I bought some was two years ago...

[jrherald420]

They still do but it's cheaper at HL. It's in the stamp isle at both places.

[Miatatom]

Thanks guys! I was calling it flocking and the HL clerks must have thought I was an idiot.

[mnwildpunk]

No there is actual flocking material so you were correct model railroader also use it a lot for grass and such

[Miatatom]

Dave, where do you find it? As I 've said, the HL folks didn't know what I was talking about. I found some at Michaels but it had sparkles in it that wouldn't have made a suitable material for carpet.

[jrherald420]

I will sometimes use it for the look and spray it a different color to suit what I want.

[MsDano85gt]

so you can spray over the embossing to achive different color of choice?

[vypurr59]

Embossing powder is a paper product and can be painted. You can glue it down with white glue or paint.

[jrherald420]

so you can spray over the embossing to achive different color of choice?

You bet. I will buy any color I see marked down for that reason.

[mnwildpunk]

I have found flocking at a coiple places that are only locl to my area I'd. Suggest detail masters which is where my hobby shop gets it from but I have also switched to embossing powder because its a lot easier to use you don't have to strain it like flocking and like others mention it can be painted any colour you want
