Flocking my light shield

I’ve been doing a fair bit of reading about the reflections on my RH200 and what a lot of the discussions come back to is light reflecting off the intervals of the light shield. So to that end I’m contemplating flocking it. I had considered a paint like Black 3.0 but I do get dew on the inside of the light shield at times (I have a few strap wrapped around the middle of it to help mitigate this issue) so I’m thinking a felt or black velvet would likely be a better way to go.

Is there any product that would be suggested/recommended?

ScopeStuff have a adhesive backed black velvet which would allow both the internals and the front lip to be done easily.
Pro star have a flocking board that you cut to size and it holds itself in place without the need of any adhesive.

I believe it was Alex a year or so ago mentioned that his second hand SCT had the material disintegrating within the OTA so I’d rather avoid that (it’s external, in front of the lens).
