flocking powder
 

Hello
could someone help me how to use flocking powder. That is what adhesive and any tips. I have searched the forums but couldn't see anything.

Thank you in advance... ert

You can add flocking powder with Heat and Stick powder as well as with adhesive. Really easy to use. Apply adhesive, sprinkle flock over, press down, tap off excess.

If you want to have your entire image flocked, try stamping the image with a glue pad first.

I have never had good luck with heat and stick powder. I don't know if I under- or over-heat it, but it just doesn't do it for me.

I use Diamond Glaze (same as Glossy Accents) and pile the flocking on. I mean really pile it on. I let it set for an hour or so before shaking the excess back into the jar.

That's what works for me, hope it helps you out.

For die cuts, Red-line tape works awesomely. You can get it in entire sheets for die cuts. I've also used carpet tape (you can buy this at your local hardware store). It's super sticky on both sides. For small areas, I had great luck with the quickie glue pen.

Be sure to fluff up your fun flock before applying, rubbing it between your fingers to get the big clumps broken up.

A Quickie glue pen is great for those pesky little bitty places.

they have a great adhesive for this that is by zig in a very skinny pen size and comes out blue cant think of name but like i said it is by zig and it runs about 2.99.

I use my glue pen, sprinkle on, let sit for 5 or so minutes and shake off excess. Works great!

For bigger areas, I have even used it with crystal effects. :D

how do you use it with crystal effects?

ert :-D

Is that the write and rub pen?

The blue pen by zig. Goes on blue, dries clear.

I just use tacky glue or any wet glue, brush it on with a makeup sponge or foam brush and then sprinkle the flock over it. And then when it is mostly covered I just turn it over and put it in the excess pile to fill up any missed spots. It dries very quickly and after it is dry you can fluff it up with your fingernail.

I usually paint or ink the chipboard first with the same color as the flock so that if there are any gaps they are not noticeable.
