Yes. Just keep in mind how much time passes between the application of the adhesive and the application of the suede. tex is 8- Time limit: ten minutes Just make sure the adhesive doesn't go from gleaming to dull!
It all comes down to evenly spreading the adhesive and then evenly spreading the flocking.
You can, but I believe the flocking powder and adhesive should be the same color. You can always test it on a small area to see if it gives you the desired result, but I'd recommend getting the white adhesive instead.
I've only used this product to line a wooden box, but it appears to be fairly sturdy if you give it at least two days to cure. Don't rush the undercoat because it takes a long time to dry.
Selected User Reviews For Suede-Tex Undercoat Adhesive - Black - 8 OZ Can
This is a very small can. I tried Rustoleum flat black enamel paint (about $20/gallon) after going through two cans of it and it worked just as well to hold flock. The enamel paint gave me more working time, better self-leveling, BETTER deep color, and appeared to dry faster than the acrylic paint. It was used on large dashboard pieces made of scuffed ABS plastic. The key is to apply the paint thickly so that it smooths out, then apply the flock even thicker. When starting from a grey dashboard, the areas I painted with paint turned out darker and blacker than the Donjer adhesive, and the paint's low tackiness did not pull the chip brush bristles like the Donjer adhesive did. Thinning the Donjer with mineral spirits or brushing mineral spirits on the surface to keep it from drying before flocking will give you more working time.
This adhesive worked well with almost every flocking material, so having a few on hand is a good idea. br>However, depending on the material, a less expensive (and sometimes even better) option exists. Spray paint, for instance, is more effective and dries faster on metal. Unlike a regular paint job, it requires a thicker coat.
I gave it an overnight drying time after applying it with a good amount of coverage. It started to shift and separate as soon as I went to vacuum out the excess flock. It was obvious that it wasn't even close to being dry. It hasn't completely firmed up yet, even after a day. Because it was handled while it was still wet, the area now appears to be in bad shape. I'm going to have to strip it down and start over. br>br>I thoroughly mixed it and followed the recipe's instructions. This isn't even close to being ready for prime time.
It came in a box that was extremely well wrapped in case it was damaged during shipping. It was simple to work with the glue. To make it more manageable, add a few drops of mineral spirits.
These things do not appeal to me in the least. It was difficult to apply an even coat because it was so thick. It takes a long time to dry. It's best not to touch it for at least three days, and it can take up to a week to fully cure.
I have no issues with it; it performs as expected. Simply follow the instructions and, if necessary, seal the surfaces you're working with, such as wood.
If I do it again, I'll use heat to see if it helps.
