Oops, you're right, when I said "after painting and reflocking" I meant painting the actual phonograph and reflocking just the platter. Sorry for the confusion. But good to know painting didn't affect how the glue adheres. Actually that might not be a bad idea... painting the back plate a shade of brown as close to the flocking material BEFORE flocking, in the event there may be a bald spot after the flocking is applied.

I usually let them sit 24 hours after reflocking. That's plenty of time for the glue to set and dry. At least in my limited experience (I'm by no means a flocking expert). Another tip... to remove the old flocking on the turntables, I used the wire brush wheel on my pedestal grinder. Got that old stuff off in short order!
