Anybody have any ideas on the best way to Flock some of the older style bigfoot heads and necks. They have the smooth plastic heads and the flocking seems to flake off in big peices once they get scuffed. I have been using a plumbing type plastic cement. Any other adhesives work better and should I try to scuff the plastic a bit? Any ideas?????????

Depending on how many you have, buy new flocked heads. :wink: Otherwise you will have to scuff the plastic, and one of the best flocking kits is the one you buy from Dave Smith Decoys.

I have probly 3 dozen with the older stye head, and about 5 dozen with the newer heads that have the grooved looking plastic. I have flocked both with minimal luck, is the factory flocking alot better?

We scuffed the heads alittled and used flat black paint for adhesive

Good idea I am gonna try that, and probly try tha Dave Smith Decoy flocking kit on some other ones. I checked out the website and I can get the DSD kit for around 50$ shipped to my house.
