fish flocking

hi this is the first time posting here and i had a few questions about flocking.....i did a search and couldnt find exactly what i was looking for.....basically im looking at flocking my dash,headliner,sub box, and possibly part of my door panels......but i will only do this if it actually feels like a suede/microfiber material when its cured.....ive heard that it feels almost more fuzzy than actuall suede......is this true??also how much would the small 3 oz bags from select products cover....i work at cc so i get the awesome "dealer price" lol.....also would there be any other places that i could buy it in more bulk at a better price than s.p. ...thanks for any input and thanks for putting together this great website for it has helped me tons with mine and others cars....

Defective should be able to help you out on this one... he'll reply to this tomorrow (most likely)

ok thanks

it feels more like a cadillac glove box. it can only be applied so thick. it is 2 parts glue and the flock. it is great for filling areas that can't be upholstred but have to have a finished look. it would take a lot of product to do all that you have listed. look at this site. it is where fish and select buy the flock from..... www.donjer.com

thanks for the help guys......defective i plan to let the headliner soak up some resin and then apply the glue and flock to it.....so do you think using that much flock would look good or would i be better off just using suede and vinyl??thanks again guys

You should try to take the headliner out, otherwise, it would be quite difficult. You do not want to use resin (if you are speaking of the fiberglass type) with this unless you have already applied fiberglass to the headliner and want to flock over it. But if you glass your headliner (careful of the drips), it will make it impossible to take the headliner out. What do you think, defective?? Good luck. Maybe I am not quite following you.

haha yea i planned on taking the headliner out before i put the resin on it....why would i need to put the fiberglass mat on it.....cant i just let the fabric soak up the resin then put the glue on it???if not let me know.....also i have a 2003 cavalier(if it matters) and would the headliner be able to support the weight of the resin(and mat if needed) along with the flock or would i need to make some sort of support....i have a sunroof so im not sure if that would affect it or not??thanks again

If you decide to glass the headliner it must be done inside the car. In order to get the headliner in and out you must bend the headliner to get it to fit through the door, and if it is solid/glassed then you will not be able to get it back in. If you do it outside of the vehicle then you may be able to get it back in the car if you pull the windshield out. What you could do is just remove the cloth material and flock the cardboard part, or go with your other idea of using suede. This is getting flocking out of hand.
