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

There is a good description of the process on this site :

Otherwise do a seach online.
Places that sell the product for flocking will also have directions ....
I hope this help.

Flocking is not that hard to do.
- 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...
My son did it the first time himself at 16 with no help. Be sure to do it in a place easy to clean-up. I was amazed, he was wanting to flock something the other day, checked, and the glue he had originally (now 13 years old) was still usable.
I am assisting him in making a jewelery case for his wife, and he wanted to flock the drawers and we were curious about making a ring insert, so we took a piece of closed-cell foam rubber and cut a couple slits in it and flocked it for a test. It looks like it will work out well.
