Will Beasley Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 As for a "very complicated manufacturing process" Erm who's told you that old chestnut Will ? Jonno Order main pigeon decoy body from Deben. Order Foam wings and tails from Foam cutting company. Order wing reinforcement plate from Plastic cutting company and fixing screws from screw company. Order thumbscrews from thumbscrew company. Order metal mounting plate. Order masking stickers from sticker company. Receive decoys from Deben, unpack and mask off eyes, white neck bars and beaks . Ring courier to collect decoys. Send decoys to Flocking company to be flocked. Receive foam wings and tails from foam company. Receive decoys back from Flocking company. Peel off all the masking tape on decoys. Drill all decoys for the wing thumbscrew fitting, rivet on mounting plate. Cut slot in body for fan tail and rivet in place. Fix on wing mounting plates and reinforcement plate. Thats just one decoy you've made, now do that to the other 499 decoys you ordered from the supplier. Then shell out an arm and a leg to the shooting magazines to advertise them and sell them. Thats the complete process from start to finish on the manufacture of one of those flying decoys. I hardly think thats an "OLD CHESTNUT" more or a lack of knowledge on your part of exactly what it takes to make these products. It's COMPLICATED and we dont just buy these things in ready made!!! Hopefully now Jonno you're better informed on how these things are made. Its all very wel for you to sit at your keyboard and pontifictae about something you, quite clearly, know nothing about...... perhaps you should start your own company selling decoys and see what it takes eh?

WOW :thumbs: :thumbs: I was referring to the very complicated flocking process NOT!. Not some manual labouring job assembly line My CV I work in the chemical Industry manufacturing aqueous dispersions for the surface coating industry, 20years as a Shift Manager with a HNC in Chemical Engineering I worked on project teams designing and installing chemical reactors, but not as big a project as building a decoy I have extensive knowledge for the product used in the UK and the easy application of suede-tex flock coating I know more about what is involved in building flocked pigeons than you are guessing at Will Anyone who wants to buy the flocking kits give me a PM, I'll send you details. Its a very simple but very effective process Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno 357 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Mark Yes black is available £60 kit would set you up for flocking pigeons and crows, using Charcoal Gray Brown Black White This simplicity of the flocking process is so easy. Its a school classroom process A 1lb bag of nylon fibres(pre cut to the exact length for flocking decoys) would sell for £10 This amount of nylon flocking fibres would coat over 200 pigeons Use can even coat undersied of furnite to prevent scratchs on polished floors, inside of gun cabinet, motor cases all most an application Theprocess "flocking" is not new its been around for years Have a look at some old style hotel walls with there flocked wallpaper. Probably done in the 70's when it was popular Jonno Edited December 17, 2005 by jonno 357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very simple but very effective process Jonno I never said the flocking process was complicated.........I said the general manufacturing process was complicated...... if you care to read my first post in detail. For sure the flocking process is pretty simple, even you could do it . Smother the item to be flocked in glue then flock coat it. I'll look forward to your suggestions via PM as to how we should be getting our decoys produced in future, then we can further lower our prices to suit the shallow pockets of underpaid rocket scientists such as yourself!

ROB REYNOLDS UK Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) right i have used theses all day long no need to change to dead birds ,if it works why change things they are light ,a lot lighter than any dead bird so your arms are not bending ,and when the wind gets up they lift up in to the air if your arms are long like mine looks a lot better than just going round and round looks more real i rate them highly and any body who see them wants them but are to tight to spend any money ..pigeon shooting is one of the cheepest sports im in to ,once you have all your kit and look after it, its free for many years apart from the shells ...so why dont you just go out and buy all the stuff you need stop messing about with **** old stuff that you have and shoot lots more birds with the new kit you should have brought long ago ..i was spending £60 a week on clays now i put the money in to kit and i still have the kit at the end of the day to shoot pigeons for free. if your going to do some thing,then do it right by haveing all the right kit it pays you back ten fold Edited December 19, 2005 by ROB REYNOLDS UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
