    I finally added divers to the list of designs. These 5 drakes are the first to hit the finish line and ready to face off against those moon faced green heads. You might notice that there is no green on the heads, that's just how we do it for our own goldeneye. The closest I'll get to putting...

    speaking of turkey decoys, I made these about 15 years ago and flocked them feather brown flocking over leather brown rustoleum, two coats. All of the color is from rustoleum oil based enamels through the airbrush.

    excellent videos William. One thing we didn't mention was how much paint, how thick etc. The only thing consistent about rustoleum is its inconsistency in thickness. Sometimes new out of the can it can be sludge, sometimes reasonably thin. I was working with sludge black this morning on...

    any decoy that is not rigid is not a good candidate for flocking. Eventually the paint will crack and some will even flex off in pieces. Of course we've seen that even with new decoys. They do make a paint for flexible foam, but it is expensive and I have no idea how it would work for...

    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...
