I would just like for you guys to know that soon after posting my question about flocking the reel seat insert I recieved a pdf file from Bill Stevens will all that I could ever ask for concerning flocking. It is fantastic. I am sure that you can send Bill an email and he will send it to you. I have not asked his permission to send it out so that is why I didn't offer to pass along without his permission not to mention I am really not certain how to attach it here.

For those of you have not had the chance to ever attend the Big Show in NC, this type of exclusive information is just a small taste of what is offered at the event. Each year has been better and better for sure! Tom has done more for the rodbuilding community with these shows that we can imagine. Many thanks to you all that help put them on and make it all happen. Here is a small quote from Bill about the flocked grips, " This is the type of information that is covered with the seminars at the High Point Show - every body should try to attend - many buildes simply have never seen the beauty, comfort and durability of the flocked surfaces."

again, thanks to you all.


Tom

The original flocking article was in Rodmaker magazine volume 7 issue 4. I think Tom wrote it. Anyone wanting to give it a try may already have that magazine in your possession.

Tom;- I have been wanting to do some flocking myself. This will be my first time,and wanted to order some materials. Would like to get in touch with Bill Stevens.Tried twice with differerent email address have not gotten any reply back,so maybe it's the wrong email address..Do you have his email address?
I just want to make sure when I order that It's right the first time.I just retired and I'm a hobby builder, and I'm on a tight shoe string budget.So I have to be real conserative.
I have heard he's the man with the plan when it comes to flocking.
Your help would be appreciated.Thanks<<<<DON>>>>
