Sweet11-87 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 picked up some sportsplast goose decoys 2nd hand a few weeks back. the ones made of the the tough rubber "thermoplastic". theyve been laying in a shed crumpled for some time and lost a bit of the shape. i can push them back to correct but they quickly pop back into the odd shapes. my idea is tp pack them with newspaper and givethem a warm up with a hair dryer. before i do anyone had this problem and how did they solve it?.

Westley Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I had some flexicoy pigeon and duck decoys that went the same way. They had a hole in the base to take a wooden peg. I filled the decoy with boiling water and left them for a while. That softened the plastic sufficiently to retake its original shape.
