decoy protection

Postby everette crofford » Mon Oct 29, 2007 6:03 pm

what kind of clear coat can you spray on your decoys to help protect them. spent alot of money on decoys this year and dont want them to get messed up. got some good ones and dont want them getting screwed up transporting them

You might want to watch it clear coating them. If I did I would put a satin finish on them to keep glare down. You don't want them bad boys shining like a brothas cutlass on a sat night.

I would think it would be fine, I think in the clear coating it's a satin finish. I didn't really listen much when I worked at sherwin williams. :lol:

one other cool tip, go to your local hobby store and get some spray on green glitter. spray it on the mallards heads and then clear coat em. makes it look like that drake just stuck his head in the water and it is shining for all the world to see, makes a good bit of difference.
