Perhaps the cold conditions of my house garage had a lot to do with it, but as you can see, none of the flocking fibers stuck to the metal. All that is left is Super 77 residue. Maybe Super 77 works in the summer, but it certainly does not do anything in the winter!

I will try again, only this time, I am going to follow the directions that came with the flocking fibers and use an acrylic paint as an adhesive (the "Apple Barrel Colors" widely available at craft stores and Wal-Mart). Which means I'll have to go get some as I do not have any (hmmm, I wonder if my wife might have some of that paint?) Icon_think
