Hi all, Flocking isn,t really a technique you can accomplish without specialized equipment.
I own a flocking machine and mine consists of three parts, a transformer , a positive charge wand with a cup to hold the flock, and a negative charge clip that attaches to the object you are flocking. You first paint on adhesive to the areas of the piece you want to flock, and quickly attach the negative charge clip to the piece itself or a conductive rod that that can fit throgh a hole in the piece ( like a neck hole,) then you aim the possitive charge wand at the piece and press the charge button. The possitively charged flock is then drawn to the negativly charged adhesive by electomagnetic force.
As a result of the static charge the flock filaments stand on end. Then you carfully unclip everything a set the piece aside with nothing touching the flock for several hours until the adheasive compleately dries. I hope this helps .
Best-o-luck

You explained it a lot better than I could have
I currently do between 50 to 100 GI Joe/ Action Men a week.
I have a converted garage as my work shop.
That's one of the reasons Iv decided to collect mego...when you work on the same GI Joe face over and over again you tend to get a bit fed up of them
It was a nice change to do Kirk and Bones

Those are works of art for sure.
I know were to send my AJs when I need them done.
