A duck call is one of the best conservation tools ever invented
Re: keeping decoys shining
Thanks. I've always thought G&H decoys with flocked heads would be the perfect decoy.

Re: keeping decoys shining
There is another outfit called flow flocked-they sell kits. A home flocking job on some G&H mallards would be the deal. Looks like you can do about 3 dozen (drakes) for $15 bucks.
Re: keeping decoys shining
my old boss (RIP) used to make me scrub 17 dozen every year before duck season. Then I had to re-do weights and strings. Never minded scrubbing and doing the work until the topwaters came and tangled them all up, got everything covered in mud and knotted the ties to the decoy bags.
There will be a day....
Re: keeping decoys shining
I hang mine up (tx rigged) spray with simple green and let it sit for about ten minutes then spray off with hose. That ms river mud is a pain in the booty. And no never do you want a shiny decoy thats dumb
Re: keeping decoys shining
You boys be sure to cover up with all this flocking going on. Don't want anybody catching something you can't wash off.

Re: keeping decoys shining
Which of you have flocked your own and how did you do it? Specific Products used?
Thanks,

Re: keeping decoys shining
Clean decoys with water and light scrub brush, as Anat said.
If you want to do something to bring the paint back to life, but will not shine, then use a rag and apply a very light coat of vegetable oil on the decoy, rubbing it in good with the rag. The light coat will dry and not be shiny, and the decoy will not be slick or slippery.
