    AIRBRUSH

    That's kind of what I used with my badger when I was figuring things out, a can of air. I then got a little airbrush compressor which was a huge mistake, no tank so it ran constantly and still didn't have enough air consistently to paint. I even had a pressure tank I could fill up at the...

    AIRBRUSH

    Painting with an airbrush is a wonderful tool, but at the same time it can be frustrating to master. I learn something new every time I pick it up and I have in excess of 40,000 hours behind the button in the past 45 years. I need to come up with a youtube account so I can post videos...

    I'm guessing you don't have facebook. There is a bit of Caleb painting with an airbrush on there, but It's fairly likely I can talk you through it here. I talked William through it and he's doing great. I had a video on airbrushing over flocking and my son lost the file. You can always go to...

    I've been working on these six geese for a long time. They should have been done prior to last fall, but we were just too busy last summer. They were made to be keel less, but I have a removable keel just in case. With the flat keels on they weigh between 30 and 31 oz. There were 14 color...

    I boiled off some in the past and then cleaned the skull, bleached it then put bondo inside the horns to slip them back on in their appropriate place. It's really weird how they shed those things each year. I'm guessing the micro wave method stinks up the kitchen.

    it still looks pretty good. I had a lab take a chunk out of a wigeon once, looked like a shark bite.

    diver decoys and shot holes, pretty typical. They probably have a little lead shot in them

    That keel weight is on the same principle as some of my keel weight options, a swinging keel like that is far more reliable to keep decoys upright in wind and waves and can be attached right to the cord.

    One thing the apoxie sculpt will do is give you the ability to shape the bill more accurately over the first few hours. It works better after it starts to kick a little and will hold the shape, leaving you with less sanding in the end.

    Beautiful tribute Michael. Carl, my son Caleb had a real hard time getting his first drake bufflehead. Partly due to few drakes in the groups that came in and his inability to manage the lead on crossing shots. I started telling him to try to shoot the hen in front of the drake because I knew...
