you may need to play around with a single decoy. I've heard oxyclean is good, but haven't tried it myself. We have lots of issues with moss leaving a ring around the bottom of decoys here on the snake river. I've never done much more than spray them off in my shop sink with hot water. We...

It really changes things when you are flocking your own decoys. I always put my newly flocked decoys in plastic bags and then slot bags for the first trip, they come home doubled up in the slots, no plastic bags and we don't worry much about it the rest of the season. I know William is pretty...

Those are going to be very effective. I had some decoys that we made 12 years ago sent back for repairs last year. They had been shot with a shotgun and one with a rifle. The flocking was still intact. The durability of a double flocked decoy is stronger than paint. The issue I have with...

Thanks, these were on order for over three years now. Still four more pairs to go on that one order, I think there might have been some concern that I wasn't going to finish before I couldn't finish, but so far so good. I can't believe that I ever had the idea i could retire.

Part of the trouble I suppose is having to mix everything from a few basic rustoleum colors. When I paint a black duck, it do some of the feathering with what I'd call a rusty buff and then paint right down the middle with black to blow it out and make it darker, kind of gives it a 3D look...

I let Caleb make the decisions on the paint schedules for our regular decoys, I don't give him a lot of input. I'd rather he develops at his own pace. I do nudge him a bit on his black ducks, I just feel like he over does the feathering. I like a much less defined black duck with hints of...

This is a head that Caleb painted. Typically he feathers the bodies far more than necessary with an airbrush, but there is a level of expectation from customers that they see that kind of detail in our work. We use black ducks decoys instead of mallard hens even here in Idaho, almost no...

I really like the color combo on the heads, I'm going to try that out.

this pair of King Eiders is part of a collector series of all north American ducks. I only lack, common eider, spectacled eider, black scoter and white wing scoter. These are both fully flocked.

I finally got that canvasback urn finished. Black sure isn't black enough unless it's flocked, but this is detailed to sit on the shelf most of the year. It is balanced to be hunt able a couple of times a year. I used about 2/3 of the ashes, the rest I'd expect will be spread on a favorite...

you got my attention with those ruffed grouse, it makes my mouth water.

The rustoleum color is just Almond, but it's just not quite right for a black duck head, even with the bisque tan flocking. Here's a tip if you do start airbrushing, it's easier to start with a light base if you want to paint light colors over that, it's hard to paint white over dark flocking...
