steve_b_wales Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I bought a flocking kit for crow & pigeon decoys. Each kit does about 12 decoys. It's easy to use and works well. PM me for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 £25 for 10 silosocks isn't that much more than the flocking kit, but more permanent me thinks! http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/shop/SILLO...UV+JACKETS.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The flocking kits are around the £17 mark. Sillosocks are brilliant, I have some, but the flocking kit is better when you want to do crow decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrierist Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The flocking kits are around the £17 mark. Sillosocks are brilliant, I have some, but the flocking kit is better when you want to do crow decoys. Looks like sillosocks are the way forward... as I haven't any crow deeks! Was hoping one of you guys would come up with something more, ahem, "Organic"!!! Save splashing the cash.... I'm sure I have Yorkshire/Scots blood in me... Thanks for the replies, anybody any other ideas? Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Havn't tried it & definately don't know. I've thought about it for crow deeks as the colour is the base plastic colour where the pigeon ones are multi colour. A quick rub with fine grade emery cloth to rough up the srface. If you glue shot bird wings on that takes up a fair amount of surface area as well. Wouldn't be too much hassle to glue tail feathers on, trimming the quill first.

activeviii Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 plastic primer them first then paint with an oil base grey paint, whilst still wet you shake the flocking ove them. do one at a time. flocking from fleabag site in usa. about £2 a bag and it will do 10 shells. for crows just use black i did mine last year and there still good now and i use then 2-3 days a week Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
