I've used this stuff for years, on a variety of materials. I can't speak 
highly enough for the effectivness of the flocking. And, it holds up so 
well that the flocking I first used 20 years ago is still as good as 
new, and that on a telescope which is open and exposed. But,... the 
adhesive dosen't hold to anything for long. At best it helps you to 
orient and hold the flocking while you glue or nail it down.
