Applying an ultra-black lining to your telescope tube has never been easier. Flockboard is our light trap surface manufactured onto a low-density plastic sheet. Simply roll it up, and let it snap out against the tube wall. Components like the spider and focuser also fix the material in place. Flockboard cuts easily with scissors or a utility knife, and also drills cleanly. Small screw holes can also be poked through cleanly using just a pointed tool.

Flockboard is ordered cut-to-length from the 24-inch wide roll, or in larger rolls at a discounted price. Installation instructions and tips included. One cut length per order please. 15" minimum order quantity. Thickness: 0.030". Made in the USA.
