Does anyone have a idea/source/technical way or process of duplicating the fuzzy flocking (sorry...!) used in the glove box? Thanks. DCG
Need info on 'flocking' or 'felt look' for glove box

As usual, NMNA. And while I have not had this particular service done by them, every other thing Coupeking has done for me has been absolutely superb.

3 Dimensional Flocking.
Hi Guys,
The only way to do it right is by having it done by someone who does it on a 3D machine. The process is using fibers that have a positive charge and the reflectors on the machine having a negative charge which make the fibers stand on end giving a smooth velvet feel. It should not be fuzzy which would be the results if using a flocking gun. The German machine I had I used was $80,000 and that was 48 years ago. There were only two in the states.
I am working with a company that does 3 D flocking and hope the results are as good as I expect. If not I am going to make a 3 D set-up using a plexiglass box and the same positive negative process. I will do anyone who wants one done at cost.
Thanks

I used the kit from Flockit.com, awesome results.
Flockings will continue until the morale improves.
just let your wife drive it for a week and it will be so full of "stuff" that you won't know if it's flocked... or not
I apologize for the digression but the glove box flock is remarkably similar to one of the two infinitely renewable materials I will never run out of, to wit:
1) Lint
2) Envelopes
My dryer is an infinite supply of lint. My postman brings me an infinite supply of bills to pay all of them in paper envelopes. If I could figure out a way running cars on lint and envelopes I would have solved the oil crisis without Elon Musk.
Flock yes...
Thanks, Arde, I needed that...
