I once worked at a place that flocked floor mats. These were done by machines but they also had hand held devices for prototype work. Mostly plastic, insulated, containers that held the flock and a high voltage positive electrode. The flock was shaken out onto a mat where a thin coating of glue had been applied in certain areas. Under the mat was the high voltage negative electrode. The high voltage would make the flock fibers stand on end instead of just laying flat. The voltage I think was somewhere around 30 or 40 thousand volts. I once made them an improved model that worked much better than the store bought ones by using a Tesla coil kit. Donald Interesting. In what way was your flocker better than the bought ones? Wondering what the performance criteria for such a thing is. Better dispersion? Better stick-up-ness of the fibers? Can I use polyester resin as the glue? Cheers, Arnold |
