Why Is Flock Not Transferring Properly? Avoid Over-Curing the Final Silicone Layer #FlockTransfer
The short version: This video is about silicone "flock" printing ink for textiles, not Flock Safety's license plate surveillance cameras — a keyword coincidence, not our beat.
Our Take
Credit to XG Silicone Ink for a genuinely useful tutorial on heat-transfer flocking and avoiding over-cured silicone layers. But let's be clear: this is a craft and textile printing technique, totally unrelated to Flock Safety, the company whose automated license plate readers we track across the country.
We get why the algorithm might serve this up under a "Flock" search, but conflating the two does a disservice to people trying to understand actual ALPR surveillance infrastructure. The stakes around Flock Safety cameras — warrantless tracking, data sharing with unknown agencies, normalization of mass surveillance — have nothing to do with silicone ink curing times.
If you landed here looking for real information on license plate reader deployments near you, skip the printing tips and check our camera map to see what's actually watching your street, or visit our take-action page to push back on it.
