|  I need help finding an old product
Does anyone here remember a product that they used to use to product a fuzzy, velvet-like finish on interior trim? I know it was a two-part process. First you had to spray the adhesive, then you'd apply the fuzzy stuff.
I've noticed that a lot of the interior parts in the mid-80's New Yorkers had a similar fuzzy finish, and my Dodge's glove compartment is also finished with it.
My father once used it to make himself a custom dash for something, but I can't find his phone number right now and I doubt he'd remember what it was called, anyway.

Well, I don't know about the product in question, but I'd approach the problem this way:
1. Spray contact adhesive on surface to be treated.
2. Allow contact adhesive to tack for 5-10 minutes.
3. Rub cat on now tacky surface.
4 Trim to desired length.

Jim | Nice, Jim. 
But finding a cat the right colour will be hard. For example, where does one find a burgundy cat? Let me guess. I'm supposed to dye the cat an appropriate colour first? | |

I guess what I really need to do is to take a picture of the stuff. Maybe then someone will know what I'm talking about. | |

It's like a short spray on velvet right? I think they still use it to line Buick's glove box. TO be honest though....I'd jsut take it apart and put down some glue and velvet and trim and re-assemble.

I need it to recover a few parts that are really too complex to attempt covering with actual fabric, so I'm holding off on trying to do it with straight fabric until I can determine whether or not I can get ahold of the aerosol stuff. | |
