GarethR Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Recently bought a magnet but the pigeons seem to get in then do one in the opposite direction... Now I need to paint my £2.99 Asda washing poles but have noticed quite a lot of glare comes from the magnet even though its painted in green matt, is it worthwhile getting camo tape or should I just leave as is? Cheers fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 worth covering, not a problem on dull days, but if there's ever any sun then they glint horribly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Fabric camo tape £3 for 20 metres of the 2 inch wide stuff, perfect thing to carry around in your kit, i always have a roll as it has tons of uses. i wrapped it around my battery too.

CZ550Kevlar Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 It`s not listed on their site it was actually in their shop, if you phone a local branch they can arrange for it to be posted or you can track down a local branch through their website.

bigbird2 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Deffinately worth doing.. use the fabric type tape as this doesnt reflect... done ours with really good effect...even done the legs on hide seat....!!! lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yep, had the same thing when I first used my magnet. Birds came in and veered off. I covered the magnet in wet mud and hey presto. Went home and coverd it in fabric camo tape ( as people have already stated) Job done, made a big difference. I have doen the slim motor and also the arms. Thats was a year ago and still on there with no probs. I have even tried camo tape on the cartridges coz the pigeons seem to see the shot coming and veer off wet mud gets my vote as well! i used camo tape on mine, but with a bit of bright sun you can still see a 'flash', but a bit of mud smeared on stops this.

foggy11 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I used that spray glue stuff- contact adhesive in an aerosol..... Sprayed it all over , motor aswell.... Then swept the garage and spread the dust all over it........worked out real well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
