Those are beautiful decoys way to carry on a great tradition 🦆✌️

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

We used the Herter decoys for 60-YEARS! The hollow plastic heads, of course, were prone to the destruction-hail of the #2 steel shot! Yours are larger and much higher quality that I've seen. Through vast experimentations, single-rigging each anchored decoys were our best method. Our usual spread was about thirty decoys.

Trex keels? Noice

How many decoys can be made with a gallon of part a and part b foam? Also, what do you use for a release agent and how are you getting rid of the skin before getting ready for paint?

[@Stephen_Ferenczy]

Nice decoys! What is used for the coating to protect them?

[@jthenriksen3482]

I think it might be some form of bed liner if it's going out to a specialty shop

You are sure taking a huge chance without wearing safety glasses!
