I am trying to flock the front of my speaker screen/mesh with cream flocking, as original, but I'm having the darndest time:
1) keeping it on one side of the screen
2) making it so the adhesive does not fill in the small screen/mesh holes.

Has anyone tried this, and, if so, can you give any hints on how to do it well? I just can't seem to do it right!

Thanks!

Probably not the same flocking as on the glovebox, but here's a link for that process, and a tasty video, too.

Thanks, KTPhil. I saw that during my research (which is how I found my mini-flock kit), but, unfortunately, I think my problems are specific to that darn screen/mesh. The video was *definitely* useful, and gave me confidence... and then I tried to apply it to the mesh.

Thanks for posting it!
