Flocking you decoys can really improve your decoys look. I tried painting with flat black spray paint but even with it being painted, my decoy still gets a little bit of shine on bright days. I’ve got a total of 5 crow decoys plus one my wife founds in her basement craft room the other night. Two are already flocked, two I use in trees and the other one I just stick in the ground of on a small tree and the one my wife found, will be made into another tree decoy.
Anyways, the process to flock your decoys at least for me seems to be a long, messy, need extra containers project that I’d just rather not starting trying to do. Here’s just one link I found on doing it www.gunmart.net/accessories_review/decoy_direct_flocking_kit/. Now flocking crow decoys should be easier seeing it’s just one color but I don’t need the aggravation.
Then there’s this method of flocking. Quick, easy and you don’t have to worry about messing up the flocking on your decoys storing them or in bad weather. If you do, then fixing is a matter of stopping at the local Wal-Fart. I picked up a pack of 3 socks at TJ Max for $5.99 and it took me maybe 10 minutes to put them on.
Because my decoys are for tree set ups, it’s going to take me a little long but not much. All I need it feed the line up through the decoy. This is a really cool and easy way to dress up your decoys and knock off the shell or plastic shinny look.
