Default "Brushing In" blind fabric. How is this done?

I have seen the term "brushing in" a blind fabric to take the shine off a material. How is this done and what do you use to do it with?

Basically you take brush, sticks limbs, etc and stack iy up against the blind ti make it look more natural.

Best kind of foliage for this is cedar limbs, corn stalks, cat tail grass, etc... assuming that you have that naturally where you hunt.

Whoops! I was thinking it some a type of treatment of the fabric as in rubbing it with something abrasive. Thanks for the clarification.

The shine is still there if you pile brush around the blind. It might not matter with deer as much, but with geese it does.

To take the shine off, I take a stiff broom and some mud and brush it off teh fabric real hard. Then you let it dry. After it has dried take and knock of the big chunks of mud. Do not wash it off because then you will need to start over again.
