steve_b_wales Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I sprayed my pigeon decoys with hair laquer to 'stop them shining', as mentioned on a previous post a while back. The decoys are now more shiny! Has anyone else tried this, and what were the results. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShropshireJohn Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm no hair spray expert. But I'm guessing you can buy a Matte effect finish? and shiny finish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinxs Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Happend to come across a book about bicarbonate soda. In ther it said to remove hair products (from hair I presume) mix shampoo and bicarb.... and wash. I tried this on the shells that I had hairsprayed and yes it took the shine off. I use a nail brush and just gave a gentle scrub. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a nail brush and just gave a gentle scrub. Hope this helps. So you used hairspray too.. Doh! The only way to stop the decoy's from shining, or any of your kit from shining, as any professional will tell you, is to use cooking lard. Apply a thin film, and hey presto. If it's raining the water runs straight off. If it's a hot day they fry nicely, though you may have to baste a couple of times. Failing that, here is an old trick I discovered in the Military. Matt green or black paint, or both. Spray liberally to stop the shine. I use it on everything, my hands and face, those shiny cartridge tops, my glasses and even my dog. Give it a go!
