What exactly is "Flocking". I have a general idea it has something to do with adding something to the paint for texture, but kind of short on details. I know it often stirs up debate when it's brought up. I can say that from the looks of the blackie, it's got to be good. Great bird.

Hey Mr. Chase,
Flocking is almost like restle coating, but with "flocking." You paint on a special kind of glue, then apply the flocking material that you purchase. It gives the bird a velvety appearance that is dead flat. I have a whole bunch of magnum burlap canada geese that have flocked heads (the company made heads were already flocked.) They look pretty nice, and i was surprised how well it has stayed on, and i never bag decoys. It's worth a try. If i were you i would not flock any wooden or cork bird, but that's just me.

Mike,
That black is sweet! I don't think its possible for you to make a decoy that doesn't look great. You know.... a flocked swan should be next!!
Hell, casted swan are like $45! I'd rather buy some from an American, than a group of little Chinese kids. I hope everything is going well! I am so pumped that you are going to put some more birds in Ocean City again this year.
Take care,
Spencer
