steve_b_wales Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I have used a few on crows/pigeons and they are brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1977 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'll give it a go then, my big concern was they would look like my 2 year old twins got their hands on them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The kit is simple to use. Once you put the glue on the decoy, put it in a clear plastic bag, and just put the flock onto it. What falls off will keep for the others. If you run out of glue, you can also use waterproof PVA. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 any pot with a lid and just drill 3mm holes in it. bit like a flour shaker but bigger holes. a box with gaffer tape in the corners and seams to collect the spare so you can put it back in the pot for the next one.

activeviii Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sorry im being thick. What is a flocking kit? Dan resin and hardener that you paint onto the plasic pigeon and then use the chopped grey bits to coat like you did as a kid with glitter. you can either buy a kit for silly money of do a search for a post i did a while ago telling people how and where.

steve_b_wales Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Do you have to use a sieve to put the flock on? I used an old biscuit tin with holes drilled into the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1977 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Finally I have done my home made flocked decoys and I think they look pretty damn good, I used the kit I bought then ordered some more flock from that place off fleabay as recommended by activeii, the grey in the kit was a bit dark, so bought some lighter coloured grey and sprayed that on the top and has really finished them off, giving them a go tomorrow after work on some laid wheat pigeons beware !!! . I would put some pictures on of them but i find this impossible . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
