Lynn, Nice looking project. My approach to flocking(with the same stuff) is to tape, paint the required surfaces and then I dump a bunch of flocking material in the cavity. I then hold a covering over the opening and shake like the dickens in every direction. I find it is less messy, no airborne material and less cleanup. i just dump the stuff that didn't stick to the paint back in the bag after it dries. I also don't have to worry if I got the painted surfaces completely covered with the fine powder. Works great for especially smaller projects. Just my way of doing it. JimE
+Jim E Thanks Jim I'm glad you have a way that works well for you. That is the beauty of woodworking many ways to do things and get the same great results. Thanks for watching and the comment.
I've seen guys applying the flocking a bit different. They give the tube a hit with their hand and the flocking ejects with more velocity. Not sure which way is better or if it really matters?
just one thing you didn't mention. I would apply some finish to the inside first (and let dry). this will stop the more expensive flocking paint from soaking into the wood. I find a softer and more durable finish by pre-coating the raw wood.
+Russ Veinot yea that is something I meant to mention, I have had "bleed through" before on some soft porous species, but this zebra wood and mesquite is pretty safe. Thanks again.
+Gary McCoy Hey Gary - I have never used anything other than the flocking paint but I don't know why you couldn't. I'll perform some tests and report in a future video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great tutorial for a newbie like me! Thanks!!

Kind of like the flockers guide to “Shake-n-Bake”. 😀
Explained perfectly, thank you so much!
Your welcome
When I made my heart boxes I was thinking about this, but couldn't remember the term for it or where I'd seen it. Good information, man!
+Wood Tools Workshop Thanks Fred as always I appreciate you viewing. Good shout out on you by Shane's Hobby Shop Saturday!

+Lynn Lacey ill make mention to that in my next video - thanks again
Do you have to use the flocking paint, or will any paint work as well?

Acrylic paint works well put it on very liberally as it dries faster so you need to be quick and of course you need to match the color.
The flocking paint is actually a colored glue.
How durable is this flocking?
I have found it to be very durable under normal use. Thanks for watching
@@LynnLaceyLLWW ok thank you. It is going in the jewelry boxes I'm making for my granddaughter and nieces
