    This has been an ongoing project for a couple of months. I really thought long and hard whether these were even salvageable. The decoys are some I made about 10 years ago for a friend and have been beaten up pretty good. Between being thrown on the rocks and each other, then dogs tromping...

    Here are a couple of thoughts. One is why we double flock, another thought is why we hand paint white areas. Double flocking is both for durability and getting an even coat. Any of you who have done much flocking will know the look of that first coat. It's pretty patchy and will wear off...

    I thought about making a gadwall butt, they have a good amount of black and white on them as do the wigeons. We do have a few gadwall around, but wigeon are fairly common. Once I get my wigeon butt mold done I plan to have several in the spread.

    What could be better than turning my pulsator into an Eurasian wigeon? It covers all the bases, motion, water spray, white and black. I was trying to figure out how I wanted to flock my pulsators, Caleb's is an american wigeon, mine is an eurasian wigeon. We have a few eurasians around so it...

    I wouldn't bother with the kits, the puffer bottle isn't efficient, a simple kitchen sieve and a plastic tub is all you need. How much flocking you need is going to depend more on how well it goes for you and how many you want to do. while I've gone through almost 10 lbs of grey flocking...

    I can smell the wood burning Ron. My wife wasn't that thrilled when I got the detailer cub out in front of the tv in the living room. I was wood burning a life-size flying wigeon in the living room when the space shuttle blew up, kind of a weird memory. Like I tell people the little details...

    We used fedex for years and our bill was always over $20k a year and that was with a discount. When a friend clued me into pirateship the savings was stunning. I was paying $80 to ship 4 crane decoys to Texas, it would be under $50 now with pirateship. We also had to drive to the city to...

    I do it just to save customers money, they pay the shipping, so it's not out of my pocket, but sometimes shipping is prohibitive for a customer to pull the trigger on buying decoys. When you are trading decoys for stuff, it comes straight out of your own pocket, it makes saving money more...

    It was $48 to ship these two to North Carolina. I've shipped boxes of 6 blacks to maryland last week for $70. We use pirateship.com it has saved us a lot in shipping. Six mallards to California is routinely $35.

    Finished a couple and sent them to the the other side of the country. Shipping is ridiculous.
