| There used to be some black, felt-like cabinet/shelf/contact paper available that I used to line the underside of pedal steels with. I believe that it was made by Rubbermaid but I'm unable to currently find a source. It was way easier than the standard glue/black powder application that has been used and I'm wondering if anyone out there has a line on some?

If you go to a fabric shop (sewing supply store) they sell sheets of a felt material that has a peel-off sticky back. It comes in black, red, white, brown and possibly other colors. Just look in your yellow pages for fabric stores. |

Jim, you might check with an R.V.Dealer.
They have various contact papers,used for cabinet lining or ceiling covering. |

And it's sprayed on in a two-step process (first the adhesive then the finely ground solid) -- not applied as contact paper. It's more like a paint than a lamination.

| Jim wants to avoid the spray, that's why he's looking for contact paper. |

| I am familiar with the flocking procedure and it's a pain in the rear. I just heard from a rep. at Rubbermaid that there is a variety of the velour-like paper available at Michaels (a store known for Arts and Crafts supplies) available both in individual sheets as well as 6' rolls in the "Contact" brand~~ thanks for the leads and interest~~ Jim |

| You can not only get the 'contact paper' style that is self-adhesive, but generic 'felt' and other similar materials, and you could use contact cement to apply yourself. Not all guitars used a spray on flocking. I have seen actual felt glued on in some instances |
