I just wanted to get some info and possibly pictures on customizing my decoys. You see, ever since you released flocked heads, I've been wanting to add them everywhere in my spread. I know that some posted on Flocked heads and Real image decoys and someone responded that they didnt fit......How close are we to a fit? I have to add flocked details some way or another. Do any of you have pictures of say the GHG life size connection and the real image connection? Much help is appreciated!
I'm willing to go to the modify stage to see them in my spread.
BTW, when will your fullbodies be flocked-resters,sleepers,etc from the box? Are ever gonna see the appearance of a FFD Mallard? That would be out of this world........Wait, that is a scary idea!
Thanks again,
Jeremy

Flocking your present Decoys is actually easy to do. You can pull a search for flocking on the intranet and just by the material. I personally use a high grade flat black paint for adhesion. The only tools you'll need are small paint brush, new glue bottle (Get one that you can cut the tip on so you can adjust the hole size for your liking.) I use a flour sifter and funnel to get the flocking into the bottle. I line a box with a plastic bag and spray the heads over that, You can reuse the flocking that falls off. It's easy and works very good. Let the heads dry for a day, hit them againest your hand over the box and loose fibers will fall off and can be reused.
