Electrostatic Flocking Applicator

Okay so I was on www.craftflocking.com getting ready to order some flock, when this new fancy and affordable Static Stick appeared on their webpage.  only $119.95.  I am very pleased with the results, it takes only a few minutes to get professional surface. You just have to take your time, and be careful where you apply the glue.  If the glue gets on an area where you don't want flocking, you need to wipe it off immediately.  Once the flocking is applied, it is extremely difficult to take off, especially on a wood fired surface because it is so rough (or at least mine are).   What I like about this applicator the most is that you can either use the AC adapter or a 9 volt battery.  The battery part would be excellent for demos, since the cord is only 4 ft long.

here are the specs courtesy of craftflocking.com:

13.5(bat) to 18 Kilavolts electrostatic field.
Self Standing for easy loading.
See through applicator cup.
Copper Charging plate to induce static charge in flock material.
Works with Flocking Fibers as well as model scenic grasses from Notch™ and Woodland Scenics™ materials as well as many more!
Screw on cap.
The static stick can be powered by a 9 volt battery or a wall adapter.
110VAC US Wall power adapter included.
Hi-Power transformer custom manufactured for this product.

The package arrives and Daisy investigates.

Getting Started. 

Unscrew mesh screen and add the flocking

Attached to the yellow wire is a T-pin, you take the t-pin and touch it to the glue on your surface.  Then you hold the Static Stick upside down and push and hold the red button down on the side of the stick.  This negatively charges the flock particles

bought this at hobby lobby,  dries to a clear matte.
