Old Boggy Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 A few weeks ago the subject of flocking of decoys was mentioned but I now cannot find it. Someone was after knowing where to purchase the grey flocking material to do this yourself. If they care to send me a PM, I maybe able to assist.

I didn`t have a flocking magnet handy , so just spread glue over the small areas that had come off and sprinkled the grey flocking stuff on it and shook off the residue. The object (I think) is purely to take the shine off. First picture is where a bird came over me where I had the lofters positioned but in my concentrating on the bird, lost all sight of the lofter which you can see took quite a bit of the shot . Both lofter and pigeon came down ! Second picture is a small area of `flocking` showing that the grey flocking stuff merely provides a matt covering. Not perfect, I know but for a first attempt, does the job. Ditchy, I thought everyone knew what a flocking magnet was. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used White UV paint (from A1 Decoys) for neck/wing bars on mine - great result - I can see the decoys and the pigeons certainly can !!!
