I spent yesterday flocking goose heads yesterday. The process involved cooking off any mold release with a propane torch, painting on black glue, and squirting flock on with a bottle similar to a catsup squirt bottle. The flock stuck to the cheap shells purdy good, but it rubs right off of the six floaters I did. I'm out of glue, but have plenty of flock left.
Does anyone know what type of glue is used for these flock kits? I think my floaters are flamboe (sp?). I may try sanding them and flocking again. Anyone have any advice on getting the glue to bond to the floater heads? The shells don't look quite as good as a factory flock, but a hell of alot better that plain plastic. I know that this stuff would probably work darn good on wood decoys, but I have too many irons in the fire now to start wittling decoys, especially goose.
I'd tell you what brand of stuff I'm using, but I forgot the paperwork in the shop. I'll try to remember the next time I go out. I'll let you know how it stands up to weather, goose season reopens this weekend in northwest Oregon.
