With all due respect to fellows who are happy with flocking I cannot agree. I used it, or tried, for years and found it was not durable and the color faded after a few years of even light use. After some experimentation I settled on fitting some thin poster board to the bottom as it is easy to cut/trim the paper until it fits perfectly then attaching felt to the paper using spray adhesive or using the adhesive backed felt then using white glue to the paper & bottom. The felt + paper gives a “thickness” feel that cannot be achieved with flocking since the thickness of flocking is limited to what sticks to the glue. Just my experience and maybe I was not doing the flocking correctly. I will be happy to give anyone who wants it my leftover flocking as I will never use it.
