Burlaped brand decoys how much added weight

[Bill Ferrar]

FYI
I had some Herters old pre keel Brant decoys that I recycled.
The decoys unburlaped weigh 3.09 lbs
After I burlaped them they weigh 4.09 lbs

Bill~

The BEFORE and AFTER weights is a great idea. Do the burlapped float as high (extra weight could be offset by greater displacement) ? Do they behave differently in wind or seas?

Too late for me to weigh my Herters Brant - but I'm coating most of my Model 72 Broadbill with epoxy & sawdust - so I will do some comparisons.

Got any photos?

All the best,

I will try to remember to weigh my next foamers before & after to see how they come out.
