Flocking mallard decoys - with pics

Been itching to get back at the ducks and started updating and upgrading some of my decoys. I bought some flocking and glue from Aero Outdoors (8oz of Green Mallard Mix flocking and 8oz of Emerald Green glue) and flocked the heads on 3 Final Approach Gunner Floating decoys and 4 Tanglefree Pro Series decoys.

Here is the FA before and after flocking:


I messed up and painted over the eyes on the first one but learned my lesson.

And here is the 7 I have flocked so far:


I'm really impressed with the flocking and it was a very simple process. It's more for my benefit than anything. I realize being where the ducks want to be is more important than some fancy high-dollar decoys. I just like tinkering with and modifying my gear. I'll probably order some black and some white flocking and glue to do the tails on the mallards too and to repair some Canada goose floaters I have.

Also, I messed around with some old teal decoys and made them all into early season hens:


And re-purposed some old mallard decoys as redheads (the "matte" rustoleum clear coat I used here was too shiny - I need to dull it some):


Anyone else been prepping duck gear? I learned the hard way not to spray paint in your basement. Fumes got me all jacked up one night.
