I eventually found this courtesy of Kayl0rz on her thread: http://www.getflocked.webeden.co.uk/#/products/4523933729

It was hidden in the thread otherwise annihilated (or was that euthanised?) by Mikeeeeeee...

I did lots of searching (because I want to try this on some pieces of Uno trim where the surface texture has gone completely) and I found:

To apply an electrostatic charge to the plastic, you need to rub it with something like a nylon cloth. Nobody seems to have mentioned doing this on a DIY basis (everybody seems to drop the flock on without attempting to create an electrostatic charge, and then everyone says "it looks better when the pros do it") but I've unintentionally 'charged' all sorts of things while trying to dry them. Fluff from the towel stands on end. That would be a good time to sprinkle on the flock material. Then you would re-charge and sprinkle again.

Otherwise I imagine you need to make a machine like the Van De Graff generator that we all remember from high school. Well, in that machine the insulating material transferred a charge to a metal sphere. What you want is just to transfer a charge onto the insulating material. Perhaps you could achieve this by mounting a buffing wheel onto a drill?
