I remember being shown a special spray gun when at college, to do the flock finish. Essentially you coat the surface with glue either brush or spray then load the special gun with the flock particles. it had a big nozzle and very low pressure and blathered the surface with the particles. After a suitable period of time, when the glue had set a bit you then shook off the surplus flock particles for reuse and it left the familiar fuzzy 'flock' finish on the surface.
Where you actually get this kit from I've no idea as its much easier to buy new glovebox liners from the specialists but It would be satisfying to recoat old ones and restore rather than replace....

Flocking gloveboxes
seriously, though, i think the main problem would be the buckling of the cardboard caused bt the water.
i'd be tempted to make up a gig/former to put inside, spray with water from a household spray bottle and put in the airing cupboard to dry around the former

That'll be the stuff. I was searching the memory from about 13 years ago but yes that looks like the stuff.
An oportunity to your glove boxes in exciting custom colours I suppose....
