Touching up the deeks
I use Feather Flex decoys and have for years. After they have been folded and unfolded a number of times the paint starts to come off. I use magic markers to freshen up the colors on the heads. Anyone else have any tips on this subject?

Spray paint ... the birds can't smell anyways , heres another trick I learned awhile back .
Get some liquid soap the kind you blow bubbles with , using a brush or rag spread the soap on your decoy.
You'll be surprised how it takes the irredentsent glowto them.

Yea Frank ... I know , he also said that he was using magic markers to touch them up.
I guess he could usethat Testors modling paint to touch them up , but I think it would be easyer to use spray paint.
