So I'm making progress going through all of the posts in the general woodworking forum and I came across this thread for a treasure chest including a tray with flocked compartments. Could/would the op or someone post some instructions on how to do this? I'd love to learn how...
Thanks
Geo

- Apply color coordinated glue to surface and let dry well. (can be done days ahead of time)
- Add some flocking to the applicator.
- Shoot/Puff/Apply flocking to glued surface.
- Clean-up...
