Hi Andy,
The only thing that worries me about flocking is pulling apart the tube to apply it. When you say flock the front edge of the inner tube baffle it sound like you need to open the tube up to apply it. Is this correct? Might need instructions if applying this sort of material.
Been just a wee bit apprehensive about opening an OTA, although I am reasonably handy with tools.
Cheers,
Matt

But in reality to get rid of the flares you only need to flock the front edge of the inner baffle tube. It is very slightly tapered so it took me a few tries to get it right.(though I have heard of folk just putting a roll in from the back opening, however that ignores the the slight conical shape at the front end of the baffle. It's a lot harder to explain than to do.) I can send you a few square inches if you think it might help your problem. No need for glue or anything, it is self supporting.
Cheers Andy.
