Hi everybody, Was wondering if flocking drawer interiors is as easy as it looks and if the results are nice or cheesy. Thanks! Brian

Hi Brian,
I've used the Donjer materials for some time now with very good success. Basically you spread the adhesive -which is quite thick and the same color as the flocking you intend to use - on the surface you wish to cover. Then you spray the flocking on and let it set up. The pitfals are making sure the adhesive ends up exactly where you want the lining to be so I use tape along the edges for a crisp line. I find cutting the masking tape with a knife and a straightedge on a glass plate eliminates the wavy edges the factory cut leaves - these show and detract from the end result. Also the tendency is to be a tad stingy with the flocking which is also a mistake .. whatever isn't needed won't adhere and can easily be used again next time by collecting it when you're done. And since you paint the adhesive in you can line complex surfaces as easily as flat ones. Everyone who's seen my linings has commented on how nice they look. A basic setup is pretty cheap so I would suggest giving it a try and see what you think.
