Anyone have any experience with the do it yourself flocking that comes in a bag? I am thinking about trying it on some older decoy floaters but didn't know if it would be worth the hassel. Is there a certain brand better than the next? Thanks for the help.

It's fun and easy. I wanted to improve the look of some of my old goose decoys so I bought a kit and did a few heads and tails. Later when I wanted to do some more, the "paint" that came with the kit was dried out. So then I used flat black Rust-Oleum from a can and brushed it on. THICK. That worked really good! I don't know if I'm getting more geese closer, but my decoys look good.

I used it with great success - it is messy but the kit does 4 dozen decoys I believe and mine came out just fine!

Thanks for the help! Just bought some black flocking that came with a connector that connects to an air compressor thought that may be easier to do then a paint brush!

"air compressor" ???? Wow! You better wear a face mask and be outside. I just put on a thick coat of paint and then use a kitchen strainer (sieve). Put flocking in the sieve and gently shake it over the wet paint to get a nice even coating of flocking. Do it over a box to collect material that doesn't stick and use it again. Good luck.

Which kit did you buy Team Radical? Im wanting to do some mallard decoys and cant figure out which kit to get.

I used the goose flocking kit from fowl flocker: http://www.fowlflocker.com/ They turned out pretty good if you use the bag method of applicating it. I would not recommend using their air compressor attachment (junk.)

I was also looking at trying the flocking from this company next time they look pretty good as well.

Make sure you wear gloves!! It can get a bit messy lol

Well I am on my third year after flocking and with a bit of care they still look good. Far better than the normal paint job.

Be safe out there!
