I've read some things here of flocking cork and EVA . So my question is can you flock the foam grips like the ones used for carbon fiber or are they to pores?
I all so would like to know if a clear coat on a painted rod is good enough or should it be coated with permagloss? Re: Flocking

You can flock EVA just fine, although it is not the ideal core material for this type of thing.

Then it should be possible to use the foam cores ? Re: Flocking

Urethane foam cores are rigid, hard. In fact, I developed them as flocking cores. It wasn't until later that Andy and I put them together with the carbon skins. But they're not at all the same thing as an EVA grip. I think when people hear the word "foam" they immediately think of something soft or cushiony.

I see what you mean. I didn't really think of them as soft, just as another alternative to the other options. I may try it just for kicks.
As to my other question about using permagloss over the clear coat on a painted blank. I understand that it will be more durable. Never mind used the search and found what I was looking for, Thank for your input on the first ? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/20/2012 07:41PM by Rich Lundy.
