Breathe in, breathe out, but not near the spray paint!

I tried to flock the interior of my Supra today. Wow! I think its the worst attempt I've done on anything, which includes singing. How can I describe the mass of particles and uneven turd testacles? How could I show you the horror of what I had just created with all 10 claws? How can I possibly share how much I've sinned? I followed Brian's tutorial exactly and I got shit! :eek: So I've ruined the whole model that I've been working on for 3 weeks! I have no clue how so many good modelers do it...maybe modeling isn't for me! And, of course, I have no digital camera to share this load of vomited bean dip off either. I'm as frustrated as I've ever been, I think, in the last decade. Any suggestions for stripping the interior? Jebus tits! I'm thoroughly P.O.ed. Thanks for letting me vent! I'm either going to go molest the punching bag outside right now, or start burning phone books! :angryfire To top everything else, the abwhorrent droning woman Christina Aguilara is on!! Have a truly spectacular evening.


Just remember: breathe in, breathe out!

I'm serious, how can I strip the god-forsaken interior!?!?!

try plucking out the flocking, and then soak the interior tub in CSC

What did you use to stick the flocking down?

if you used Elmer's white glue to stick it down, you dont have to soak it in CSC. Just use water and rub at it vigorously

warm water will disoolve the glue quicker too

I followed Alex's Tutorial the first time I tried flocking. It didn't turn out perfect, but it worked. Second time I tried it, it worked perfectly and looked great. It just takes time and practice. Don't get your panties in a bunch over it. Just try again.

...perhaps you could practice on scrap parts or whatever untill you are confident enough to start doing it to a model

Yes, I used Elmers. I am trying to methodically sand off/scrub these pesky particles off. Where's a woman when you need one?! :evillol:

if it is elmers just dip it in water. But its a bitch when you use elmers for the clear parts, everytime it gets wet the glue comes off and runs.
