Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever flocked the inside of their tube. I am part of the yahoo 9.25" user group and there was a folder that contain pictures of someone flocking the inside of the tube. My question is what material would one use and what is the procedure.

Thanks,
Jimmy

This website shows how to flock a C11:

You can get the flocked paper from Protostar:

The website mentions Edmund Scientific as a source too. I bought some there to flock an 8" Dob once, and it was not self-adhesive, but it was way cheaper than Protostar.

Hope this helps!
