Ok , basic newbie question. Where are you guys ordering flocking from? Restle coating is great for divers(since they live in leak bags on mainlines all season). But for my mallards, I’d like to flock them. Anyone got some leads?

Thanks

Thanks Don and William. I found that site , just didn’t know if there was some special place that was better/cheaper. Am I good to try just a kit to start? Figured that would probably be easiest?

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 this year, you could probably get a couple dozen mallards out of 4 oz of black, 8 oz of grey and 8 oz of brown. Use gloss rustoleum paint for your glue. I use gloss black, gloss leather brown, and gloss smoke grey and usually lighten the grey with gloss white on mallards. Even if you don't airbrush I'd still flock the heads and rumps black. Black is the most important color and there is nothing blacker than flocking black.
