Glareshield is off currently for a top mounted compass... What kind of stores do that?

I would check out custom car and boat paint shops. They will use the best materials available and insure it's well cured. (If the flocking scratches off a custom dash, it's bad for the shop's reputation.) I suspect the DIY flocking materials have to meet product safety requirements. The pro's are allowed to use better, but less safe, materials because they have proper worker protection and ventilated spray booths. The pro's are just more experienced.

Purchased some black "felt" at the local fabric store in preparation to felt my glare shield. Once I got the stuff outside the store in the sunlight, there appeared to be some sparkly polyester sheen to it. Any recommendations on type of fabric to kill glare?

Jordan,

I purchased some adhesive-backed black 'durafelt' felt from

http://www.thefeltpeople.com/pages/c...rafeltcard.htm

and it worked very well for me (and for a number of others to whom I parceled out pieces). I believe I got their #7240 black product.

I would sell you some, but I used the last of it on my new V2cx ride - see my 'Pimp my Ride' article on Soaring Cafe for a photo of the felt and the finished glareshield

Hope this helps,
