Default RE: Decoy Molds

I used to make them from polystyrene beads using molds. I don' t know where you can get it now but I used to get it from Decoys Unlimited located in Clinton, Ia. I believe. You have to use a release agent like talcom powder and really rub it into the mold or you will have a mess and will have a hard time getting the decoy out. You can make the decoys as hard as you want by cooking them in a tub of water for a while also you can make the surface very hard by rubbing cooking oil over the talcum powder. I believe it took about 1 and a half pounds of polystyrene for a goose. You can make some pretty nice decoys if you have the time.
