Can you hairspray the wig after flocking to keep the fibers together? That last one looks amazing!

I don't think the hairspray would settle on the scalp especially with longer fibers. But as far as I've learned, nothing adheres to silicone except more silicone.

I got a lot of questions answered and unfortunately it's beginning to sound like I may have to buy something expensive to get this to work :/

But at least it does sound like I'll be able to send some silicone caps to the manufacturer for them to test flocking on them before I actually bought equipment.

Alternatively I'm thinking about tinkering with the device that I have and see if I can make it stronger somehow. Just hope I don't electrocute myself or start any fires hehe.

Another thing that was suggested was upping the humidity, so I might try running hot water in the sink and flocking in the tub tomorrow morning before I take a shower. See if that helps anything. At least I won't have to vacuum afterwards hehe.

Wow, this is awesome! Two of my characters have a crew cut hairstyle. I'd love to buy something like this.
