And I broke the cardinal rule, and shook shook off the excess, just to see exactly how much you can get away with. I'm pleased with this result, I'm going to follow the rules with the dash and leave the excess fibers on for at least 12 hours.



I untaped once the control batch of adhesive developed a surface tack.

The brush and mini flocker technique was so easy, given my surface area to cover, I continued to use it on the dash this evening.

I'm at that point with the dash now. I just got done flocking it. I haven't untaped yet, but so far, I'm happy with the results.

Grand reveal, good or bad, in about 15 hours or so.

Fingers crossed!

And instead of dash glory, here is the finished console I promised, for those that care.

Time will tell. Thanks for the input! Hopefully the masses agree.

Haha, I'd take you up on that, if I didn't have a 4.0 of my own. My trusty Wrangler. Too bad... ;)

Thanks guys :)


I flocking did it.

In my usual fashion, here are some real haggard photos initially, followed up with some slightly less haggard pictures later. :D It won't be moving from its low lit home for a week or so, allowing it to cure fully.

Still lots of excess fibers on the surface, once it cures I'll feel confident removing all extra.

I really like it. I am excited to see it in some actual decent light with the gauges. Mmm I think it'll look real nice. Time will tell.

I'm not sold on the flocking. I think it's flocking ugly
