Ronn W Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I plan to get some flocking from by Donjer (along with glue) . They have both nylon and rayon suede fibers. Plan to use it for interiors of boxes. Should I get mylon or rayon? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I'm betting it will be near impossible to tell the difference. FWIW, I have only used nylon from Flockit.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can throw up a few pics or if you'd rather stop by and you can check out the boxes in person and we can talk shop as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minorhero Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 This may be obvious to you, but definitely do it in a location where a mess can be made. The stuff goes everywhere. I used a largish box lined with a big trash bag as my flocking station and I still had stuff go up in the air and all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a big plastic box so I can try and capture and reuse some of the flocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I have only used the Suede Tex rayon from Woodcraft. No complaints on application and has held up well. I second using a container to apply, this stuff blows everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I learned that you don't need to be overly enthusiastic with the applicator. Helps a little with the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 On my first try, I was a little too conservative with the glue and had to scrape it down for a re-try. Yeah, this stuff can create a flocking mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmotjr Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 David Pachutto has a couple decent videos on flocking for boxes and such IIRC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Ronn I meant to show you how the Bonjer Suede Tex product looked on a couple of band saw boxes when you stopped by but totally spaced so here are a couple of pics! In both of these I flocked the inside of the drawers as well as the under side of the other piece as it helps center the drawer a bit (you can kind of see it on the first pic) Thanks again for stopping by I know its a bit of a road trip but always like talking shop with other ww's. I plan on implementing your solution for holding my cc sleds this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Bull crap! You just wanted to show off those beautiful pieces and glad you did! The boxes are amazing but I guess that’s a cutting board in the first pic. That is friggin cool!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Are those from Piccuto's Bansaw Box Book? The design seems familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I've lined drawers & boxes with crushed velvet. Wrapped it around laminate scraps w contact cement. Glued each panel in place w hot melt. I like the 3D keyboard cutting board ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. One of my daughters was a music major in collage so she really enjoyed it. If you decide to do it there is a fair amount of set up work so make a few extras I made three last year and have one left 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I tried flocking a couple Christmas's ago. Same as others have said the Donjer flocking is a mess but it works extremely well. They offer two methods for application, a hand pump or a compressor driven spray unit. I opted for the hand pump and after about 8 boxes I got pretty good and not making to big a mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wimayo Posted December 12, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm a first time poster. I really like all the great responses. Like wdwerker above, I like to use fabric like velour, crushed velvet, ultra suede, or even anti tarnish cloth. I usually wrap the fabric around cereal box cardboard with rubber cement and then insert into the boxes again with rubber cement. I can also wrap the fabric around blocks of foam to make ring holders. I haven't tried flocking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
