Flocked OTA complete

[bottletopburly]

Finally got round to flocking the tube of my 200p using the baize fablon from wilkinsons £5 a roll two needed for the 200p, and it does look neat ,like the tube is so dark compared to the matt black paint finish ,butted up to the seam of the tube with first roll then butt jointed next roll back up to the seam 20mm overlap though you do have to trim the flocking back 12mm on the primary mirror end as the mirror assembly is a neat fit would recommend giving a go and take your time to get rid of the air bubbles if you do get any pierce with a pin and rub out  ,blacked the edge of secondary,blacked end of focuser tube aswell all back together ,oh just a tip if you have never had scope to bits do it my mirror clip screws were rusting round the primary stripped and cleaned now .

Give it a good hoover to reduce the fluff.
