As you can see I am flocking some of our 1/9th scale figures... these poor guinea pigs are our 1/9th scale Captain Action figures... Not mastered yet, but I sure like trying... -Dave

Excellent! You're on your way for sure! You know- I'm thinking- you could get some 1mm flock from Donjer. It's a bit shorter or even the the real fine flock power type could work on a mego type head. I plan on using the fine power on the new 3 1/4 Adventure Team Joes from the club (if I can get them without selling the house....lol!) Either way now that you have a flocking unit you can buy any size flock and test out what's best for your needs.

It looks better than my first attempt. lol mine was a little sparse. I'm agreeing with with Flockman a shorter flock my be a little more in scale with the mego guys. Don't get me wrong, the flock job looks great. I was thinking about getting some shorter flock and doing up some mego heads. Keep it up it's looking good.

Try doing the flocking with some humidity. I did this in the utility room and had the hot water running. The steam seemed to make the flock stick quicker and fuller to the head. This worked for me.

I've seem this posted elsewhere. That was one of those projects I wanted to do with some of my mego guys...but it got back burnered. They do look good though.

Hello can anyone explain to me what flocking is about? Thanks Flocking is the act of applying adhesive to a substrate and then coating that substrate with fibers to create a velvet or plush finish. This plush finish can be applied electro-statically, manually or a mixture of both.
