Suede-Tex Undercoat Adhesive - Black - 8 OZ Can

I just used the suede-tex to line a jewelry box. It's crazy simple. A couple tricks and tips, though... If you're using it on wood or a porous material, you have to seal it with shellac (or something on that line) so it doesn't dry out too quickly. I used frog tape to give me an edge to work to, but didn't seal beneath the frog tape. As a result, the adhesive crawled up under it pretty badly. Another lesson learned. I cheaped out and didn't buy the flocking sprayer. The flocking sprayer amounts to a couple tubes that help poof the flocking fibers cleanly and evenly. The fibers tend to clump, and when they do, they give you a clumpy finish. Next time I'll use a wire colander and pre-sift the flocking fibers. I'll use the colander to shake the flocking onto the adhesive, as well. Initially I hadn't realized that the flocking adhesive is colored. It's necessary to match the adhesive with the fiber color. It's so that you can't see through to the base material. A little bit of this adhesive goes a long, long ways. Regardless, it's very important to use as much as you can get on there. I applied it heavily and then gathered up the pooling adhesive with my brush. This is a really great system, and I can think of many, many applications. I hope the tips help. I watched a number of youtube videos prior to using this stuff for the first time and was never alerted to any of the things I've mentioned. Despite the issues I uncovered, and the fact that it was my very first time using this stuff, the results were truly wonderful. I think you'll like it if you try it. Don't let it scare you off, it's super easy. It yields far better results than lining with felt. I should mention that I used the "wine" color and it's gorgeous. Also, this stuff is NOT water soluble. Cleanup is simple with mineral spirits. Good Luck!!!

This is a great base for flocking. The royal blue color is striking and looks great. The flocking material sold by the same company color matches perfectly and together you end up with near perfect flocking with little effort. Invest in the blow tube for distributing the flocking material evenly and be aware a little goes a long ways for both adhesive and material PLEASE NOTE: This stuff is incredibly sticky and not in any way water soluble. I made the mistake of trying to clean my brush using running water thinking it was similar to paint. Then followed up by trying to squeeze out the brush with my hand. This got the adhesive all over my hands and hours of scrubbing did not remove it. So be careful to minimize the amount that gets on your hands and invest in mineral oil or other cleaners for brushes and hands.

I found out about this process/product from some YouTube videos on woodworking projects, and it sounded perfect for some machinist toolboxes I was making for my three sons and me for Christmas. It was easy to apply and then coat with the fibers using the pump tool. (You will need to order the puffer pump, adhesive and flocking together the first time). I was doing a lot, so I ordered a whole pound and 3 cans of adhesive. I masked off what I didn't want flocked before applying the adhesive paint. It was much easier than felt and had better results.

I was surprised at the number of good reviews being that my experience did not reflect them. The flocking did not adhear very well to the small boxes I was flocking. I actually had to reapply adhesive and flocking again the next day to get good coverage. Some of the areas were a little bald of flocking on the first coat. I have done this many times before using either wood glue or poly paint to which I add appropriate colored dye and have gotten much better results. This adhesive is pretty thick and does not seem to be tacky enough besides being a bit hard to apply smoothly. My wooden boxes were sealed with shellack and dry before adding the adhesive. I used the same procedure as I always do and was disappointed in the results. I will try thinning it a bit the next time I use it and hope that helps.

This stuff works great and holds up very well. Adds detail to my woodwork projects.

We use this to flock the interior of the drawers we make for jewelry boxes, works wonderful.

I bought these in various colors, including black and beige. The adhesion as good, so good in fact that you got to work real fast and flock quickly before it dries. It dries very quickly even at room temperature. It's quite thick, so I diluted it a tiny bit to apply quicker with a brush.

This can is very small. After going through 2 cans of it, I experimented with Rustoleum flat black enamel paint (maybe $20/gallon) and it worked just as well to hold flock. The enamel paint gave me more working time, better self leveling, BETTER deep color, and seemed to dry faster. I used it on big dashboard pieces that were scuffed ABS plastic. The trick is to lay the paint on thick so it smooths out, and lay the flock on even thicker. The areas I did with paint came out with a deeper, blacker color than the donjer adhesive, when starting from a grey dashboard. Furthermore the relatively low tackiness of the paint did not pull bristles of the chip brush like the Donjer adhesive did. You can get more working time with the Donjer by thinning with mineral spirits, or brushing mineral spirits on the surface to keep it from drying before the flocking step.
