Want to do some DIY while waiting for clear sky. PM me if you have some spare flocking material to let go or if you know where to get them here in Singapore, please reply in this posting. Thanks.

The ones I bought were from Sagacity in Bras Basah Book Complex. They used to come in 2 varieties viz the self-adhesive type and the plain back type. They work pretty good as flocking paper, but they are also good at attracting dust.

how long do we need to flock (C8)?
Is it really that effective? =) Difficult process?

I dun advise you to flock that C8. You need to remove the corrector, and u need to make sure you put it back exactly like how you took it out. If your C8 is perfectly fine now, I think you should just leave it as it is.
