I've been seeing the neat work you guys do on your interiors with flocking so though I would see about getting some. I've obviously never used it before but when I was looking I found sheets of flocking and bags of loose flocking. Which would you guys recomend for a first try?

Bags
I can snap a few pics of my flocking supplies if you need - but get bags.
Just paint a color close to the color of the flocking, say you are doing green flocking, use a green paint, I brush mine on, then cover what you painted with the loose flocking material. Use generously - I also lightly tamp down with my fingers the flocking, very lightly though. Set aside to dry, and if needed, you can repaint and redo it, but usually one time works |

Thanks for the info. I'm guessing I should use gloss paint for it rather than matt/satin so its a little stickier. Now to place an order from a german company which might seem unusual, but they have a load of other bits that look handy and it will help me get to the minimum order value. Thanks again CC

Yes to the gloss paint. Flat and matte paints dry too fast and wont give you enough time to sprinkle the flocking over it.

If you don't have the right color, i also use white glue, brushed on generously, it dries clear too, so works well.

Use an old salt shaker or spice bottle with a shaker top to apply the flocking. Goes on much smoother when it sprinkles, and doesn't clump.

hmmm - never thought of that - salt shaker huh? need some bigger holes I would think.
What I like is those little squirt bottles, that way, when I blow spots of flocking onto the paint or glue, it is like forcing it into it.

I use a small tea strainer, and just tap the side of it, makes for a VERY fine application.

I use an old onion powder tones container. It makes the flocking smell like onions, but seems to work well lol.
