Supplies: flocking powder, glue, brush, blusher brush, toothpicks, sieve and a clean sheet of paper. First decide if you want to reflock an entire head or just the damaged parts. Entire Head:
Clean the head thoroughly by removing all of the leftover flocking and glue with warm running water and dry it off.
With the brush put the glue equally devided on the head, follow the original hairline.
Hold the head above a piece of paper, put the flocking powder in the sieve and sift it over the head until the entire glued part is covered.
Gently push the blusher brush onto the head to fasten the powder.
Drop the leftover powder on the paper en put it back in the bag for a next time.
Use the toothpicks to carefully scrape any excess flocking or glue off the head around the hairline. Let it dry for at least 24 hours.
Does the result not look like what it's supposed to be? Then rinse off with warm water and just try again.
Don't give up too easily: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
Partial reflock:
Carefully put yhe glue on the damaged parts with the brush. Make sure not to get it on the existing flock.
Hold the head above a piece of paper, put the flocking powder in the sieve and sift it over the head until the entire glued part is covered.
Gently push the blusher brush onto the head to fasten the powder.
Drop the leftover powder on the paper en put it back in the bag for a next time.
Use the toothpicks to carefully scrape any excess flocking or glue off the head around the hairline. Let it dry for at least 24 hours.
