Available from Creative Coatings Corporation We bought our unit and flocking from Pacific Coast Chemical. 5100 District Boulevard Tell him you saw it here. More companies that supply flock Quick Overview of flocking a puppet head: You spray a flexible glue over the puppet's head and fasten the charge cable to a metal support inside the puppet head if possible. The flocking will have the opposite charge when the machine is turned on. The flock material is placed into the canister and the wand is pointed toward the glue. When the switch is activated the flocking material will leap out of the canister as you shake it gently and will stand on end when it reaches the attracting charge. As it lands in the glue you watch to see how thick you want the covering. Sometimes you want a sparce covering, sometimes very thick. Some puppets I have used flocking on many of our television puppets... It's great for closeups. You can put a direction to approximate a "nap" or fur growth direction by blowing gently with your mouth or using a soda straw in smaller areas while the glue is still wet. Allow the glue to completely dry and then you can paint the head with acrylic paints. Here is some of my work from the PBS "Jack Houston's ImagineLand" television show.
