The applicator is a simple tube with holes that you twist in and out of itself to create air that pushes the fibers out. There is also an optional applicator that can be connected to an air compressor. Once the applicator is ready, the adhesive can be applied to the dash. This stuff is thick and damn sticky so try not to get it on yourself. You have minutes of working time before the glue sets be prepared to boogie. Once you have the entire dash covered with adhesive, the fibers can be applied.
Be very generous when applying the fibers as the glue can soak through them. Once you have completely flocked the dash, let it set undisturbed for hours or more depending on the temperature in your work area. For a first attempt the dash turned out relatively well. In hindsight I should have thinned the glue and sprayed it on with a cheap spray gun.
Flocking has many decorative and functional applications. Can you paint flocking? You can but the flocking absorbs lots of paint. Is flocking durable? NYLON flocking fibers are durable, weather resistant, and colorfast, making them a good option for either indoor or outdoor applications.
Is flocking waterproof? Once applied the flock is waterproof and resistant to solvents. It can be cleaned with a soft brush, hoover brush or normal interior cleaner. Is flocking powder dangerous? The spray-on artificial snow products are called snow spray, flocking snow, or holiday snow. Inhalation of methylene chloride can cause toxicity depending on the severity of the exposure. Is flocking safe? Imitation snow, or flocking, can be very hazardous to pets that ingest it. Since flocking is often sprayed on Christmas tree branches, which in turn look like fun sticks to chew on, it is best to avoid it altogether in order to help keep your pet safe.
What is flocking in biology? Flocking behavior is the behavior exhibited when a group of birds, called a flock, are foraging or in flight.
There are parallels with the shoaling behavior of fish, the swarming behavior of insects, and herd behavior of land animals. The result is akin to a flock of birds, a school of fish, or a swarm of insects. Removing real flocking and the adhesive that goes with it probably won't happen. Why not go period correct and just get a dash cover?
Dash cover isn't going to be very useful in a car that sees track use unless there are some that are attached properly instead of just held on by gravity and hope. Not to mention that I'm looking for an improved appearance. Dusterbd13, no idea if a vinyl wrap would be easier to remove but I would think it should be. That's an interesting idea that probably needs looking into a bit more. Well, the car is getting most of the interior out of a 93LE so I'm actually planning to swap the dash in.
I do have the original dash as that's currently in the car, so maybe it's worth flocking or wrapping that one to see how I like it. I doubt you could remove flocking. It's basically like really thick oil based paint.
I've done them a few times with the Don Jur kit the basic one and they've come out perfectly and held up for years, even in the rally car. Just do it, and you'll be happy with it.
