steve_b_wales Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I was recently asked about the above decoys that I made approx 18 months ago, so I'm putting a photo back up Correx is the same type of material that's used to make 'For Sale' signs etc. I was lucky because a family member works for a company who uses this material, and he gave me a load of offcuts. Wickes sell a product called Proplex, which is a thinner version of Correx, and can be cut to shape. I recommend two pieces glued together for added strength. Here's some photo's of them spread out on the ground. They work well. They are lightweight and I can carry 50+ in a small bag. Click on the photo/s to see them better.

I googled Crow sillouettes, Then enlarged the images and printed them off to use as templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
