Flocking

[Flightstopper]

Fine, I'll flock it while your in the other room painting. Wouldn't want to cross the procedures you know

[NuffDaddy]

I bought the head/chest/highlights mallard kit and the 50 head goose kit. Should be enough to do the heads/tails on 15 goose decoys and have plenty left over to use on the ducks.

I have seen a thread somewhere where a guy did the whole bird. Hens as well and he used a sprayer to spray the flocking. I bet he wasted a ton of the stuff.

I guess you can go crazy and buy all sorts of do-dads but I'm happy with the way I'm doing it.

[aunt betty]

I usually flock pretty hard for 30 minutes or so, then blow the white stuff around the face, belly and back. Take a break then flock a little more.

If it don't matter to you whether you flock for 30 seconds or 30 minutes...you ain't flocking right or something.

[NuffDaddy]

30sec....30min......whats the difference. It ends the same no matter how long it takes ya.

Keep us posted how it turns out. I've been thinking about doing it, and am curious to see how it turns out.

hopefully it goes as good as ABs went. I bought a little blue/purple to mix in on the top of the head. See if I like it or not. only cost me $3 for it so not much lost. Might be a little while before I get around to it. I want to get the boat ready for the spring perch run and Bowfishing first.

Gotcha.

[aunt betty]

I used a sharpie to make the black marks on their heads. Did that last time and I think I'll skip it this time.
That Mississippi delta gumbo mud will make the colors fade a bit.
The main reason I flock my decoys is to knock down the glare because when plastic decoys get wet they get shiny .
The flocking helps prevent that imo.

Hey nuff.
Where is your clear ketchup bottle?
My kit came with that.

After you get done you're going to want slotted decoy bags. Not sure if it matters but I know I want them after spending nearly a week messing around with them decoys. Want three bags that hold a dozen each. I put three dozen out and pick them up every day. My bags are trashed. Looking at materials to build my own. I want something like they use on them soft-side cooler/lunchboxes.

[NuffDaddy]

I was thinking about sewing some somehow. I do a lot of walk in hunts into a WMA if I'm not out in the big water. I was thinking about 18 slot bags so me and a buddy can pack in 3 doz decoys.

When I first started duck-hunting in 8th grade I was a paperboy as well. Had to get a sub on days I hunted and that kinda canceled much of the profits.
Anyway I used my newspaper bags for carrying decoys. There were several styles and the one I liked the best had two pouches with a hole in the center for your head. It was meant for carrying over your head or to line bicycle double-baskets so the papers didn't get wet. Kind of a duel-purpose thing.
When I quit I cashed in all my bonus money for more of them bags. They were getting harder to get. Really tough materials. I still have two of them from the mid-70's. Thinking about sewing some canvas separators into those newspaper bags. Would work great for what I want. Love to re-purpose things.

I flock the birds I hunt over, or sell. Personally I think it make a ton of difference.

Plastics I did last fall:







Ones I made this spring:

[Bootlipkiller]

Gene those look awesome! I wish I could hunt over a small spread so I could learn to do that. I'm just not dedicated enough to do 400 or 500.
