Craigie Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Collect all the hair from your electric shaver, paint your plastic decoy with glue, then pour the hair liberally over the decoy, wait for it to dry and hey presto a flocked decoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest flightline Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 "Trannie" is widely believed to be popular argot for a person who is a transvestite. Can`t understand what that`s got to do with you though, sexy nipples. So it must mean radio. Craigie, you are a wireless. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy B Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I recently brought some flocked decoys from this place : http://www.############## Have to say I'm pretty impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moleskin Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Hello Tommy and everybody else. I saw ############## at the gamekeepers fair a couple of weeks ago, they had some good stuff. I bought one of the flocked rota coy whirlies from them and I'm very pleased with it, its much nicer than my mates pinewood and just goes forever on a small battery. Its nice to get some real customer service as well, good guys to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 What does flocking look like? The reason I ask is there is probably a material close to it that’s used in building model railway scenery. Not that I build model railways you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 The other day I was subjected to the torture of watching a TV programme called "Changing Rooms". Remarkably there was something of interest on it, flock coating technique. A very basic hand held device which looked like 18inch of broom handle with a plastic coffee cup on the end was used to run a positive charge through the flock particles placed in the coffee cup. The target item was glue coated and earthed. The flock partiucles were obviously then attracted to the target item and stuck to it. That's it! No mystery.

Malc Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Malc who? Anyway, sorry HH, no drawing but have a look at the BBC website. The flocking is shocking (pink that is) but I'm sure you can use your imagination! I'll try to make one, but don't hold your breath anyone, it's way down on the list of projects at the moment.
