Hi all,
When I flocked the inside of my scopes (8"LX200 and 4"2045), I used =
a synthetic black acrylic paper 1/16" thick. It was rigid enough that I =
used no adhesive at all, rather I cut the pieces to precisely fit =
together inside the OTA so that friction and the curve of the material =
holds itself in place. For the secondary, I cut the material 1/8" =
short of the exact circumference and then had my wife sew the cutout =
into a tube. The tube is then slid over the secondary holder so tightly =
that it requires some twisting to remove it. This has worked great for =
me and I transport my scope all over Nevada on very poor gravel roads =
and have never had any of the paper shift from its original position. =20
The material can be found at Michaels for roughly $ 0.80 per 12*18" =
sheet.
Good luck and quit damaging those optics.
Jim
