I'm redoing about 5 dozen E Allen decoys. The decoys are about 10 years old and the paint adherence has been really good. I've taken good care of them so YMMV. The bills all have nails and carbon arrow shafts so they've held up well too. I'm re-keeling with composite decking, adding glass...

Dave, I'm adding the runners hoping the coffin will pull easier more than to protect the hull. To attach the runners with the epoxy would you just place a lot of weight on them to hold them in place while the the epoxy hardens? I was afraid I'd have to screw the runners in place? I'm a...

I'd like to add bottom runners to my coffin blind. Anyone know how I should do this? I hunt this in about 6" of water most of the time. I also need to repair the small crack pictured. I've got some West Epoxy. I don't have any experience working with or purchasing fiberglass. Thanks...

Thanks Tim. After looking on the internet I thought they probably were. denny

I was given some decoys by a friend. Are these Herter Model 50's? Thanks.

Capt. Jeff, I remember your post. It planted the original seed in my mind to change to crimps. I'm just getting around to it. Thanks, Denny

Perfect. Exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you. Denny

I'm thinking of crimping my droppers at the decoy and clip ends. Good idea? Anyone got a good crimp and source to buy them? Thanks.

Thanks. That's a great looking decoy.

Really nice scoter. The paint looks super flat. What paint are you using? Thanks

Bill, Thanks for the suggestion. I'm researching this idea. I didn't know people were flocking entire decoys. Sounds interesting.

Hey George - greetings. I've had really good luck with Titebond II/cork dust painted with Golden paint. My diver rig has lots of them and they are really durable. It makes it really easy to touch up/change colors too. Poor man's cork decoys? Denny

Thanks guys. Lou - After 10 years I'm ready for a change. I'm going to leave my diver E Allens like they are but I'm going to change the mallards. I'm hoping I don't have to strip them. Lee - thanks for the heads up. I've used Titebond II on lots of burlapped decoys I coated with cork...

I've got nearly 2 dozen E Allen mallard decoys that are about 10 years old. They've held up great, including the paint. I've always felt they were too shiny on sunny days. I'm thinking of coating them with cork dust/Titebond 3. Has anyone done this to their E Allens? I"m looking for help...

Bummed to read Worth's posts on duck numbers in his home waters and Nevada. It's not good news, when a hunter and bird lover, with a lot of experience tells you the numbers of ducks is way down. Denny Sorry, When I posted that I have seen next to zero ducks in western Oregon, I made...

Nice pictures. Those drake mallards are beautiful.

Super cool trip. Have a great time. denny

Thanks for the pics. I like the way you transport your gear, especially the buckets. denny

That's really sad. I can imagine how many hours of work he put into those decoys. I'll keep my eyes open. denny

Michael, Most of the time around 2 dozen. The picture with the boat loaded up was after a diver hunt. It was the quickest and easiest way to get all the gear back to the truck. I had out about 5 dozen divers and a dozen geese (including some full-bodies on the shore). Denny
