Nice technique. I always take a piece of 22 gauge electrical wire (a couple bucks for 100' at Radio Shack or the like) and glue them down under the flock. Some times I twist two together for a bit. That technique also allows me to shape the wire, lay it against the surface and get a lo-res preview of how it will look. It can get a little fiddly bending the wire if you go up and over a lot of corners. |

Etotheipi, Instead of a bare wire, I've used tightly twisted twist ties (the ones with paper coating). Works for trunks and larger branches.
link For smaller ones I peel the paper, but leave the adhesive on, so that the PVA and flock will stick. If I were to do it again today, I'd probably use twine/string of different thicknesses, as it is more likely to lie down easier. Dan
