The GLUE is what makes our kits better.
User friendly; Still no strong fumes, water clean up (till the glue has set).
Totally Waterproof when cured.
The
high polymer base in the glue bonds to the plastic decoys so well,
that we do not know how to remove it.
This glue is specifically designed for us and decoys! Superior to all others tested.
- Improved glue strength & scratch resistance.
- Colored glue to match the flocking. This
gives increase color dept and covers faded paint, etc.
- Greater elasticity in the glue, to adjust to plastic shrinking/swelling, as the plastic changes to the elements.
Expands and contract to temperatures.
- Improved drying time. Longer time to accept
fibers, yet tack set in two (2) hours, and ready to hunt in 24
hours.
(Time can vary due to temperature,
humidity, etc. Test as needed.)

Still environment friendly and user friendly.
Don't mess with solvent based glue which is hazmat, strong fumes and takes longer to dry. Plus solvent based glues do not have the elasticity
(designed for surfaces that are not subject to the changes in
temperatures), need solvents for clean up, have warning on the
labels for handling, take longer to dry and are hazardous if in
haled.
Velvet Feather Kits:
1 Kit = minimum 1 dozen Bigfoots, or approx. 2-3 dozen standard decoys.
Easy four step process for previously painted surfaces.
- Wash/Clean decoys(s). degrease and do not handle surfaces to be
treated.
Oils on the hands will attached to the plastic.
- Prepare surface to increase glue adhesion. Lightly sand,
if needed. Sandpaper included in Kits (but not basic kits that have
no accessories -just glue & fibers.)
Additional steps may be needed if decoy surfaces have not been
previously painted, like BF heads, will need to be flamed. Complete
instructions included.
This is superior to heavy sanding, etc and
quicker too.
- Brush on glue.
- Apply fibers with puffer bottle(provided in complete kits) which breaks the surface tension and therefore enhances the results. Superior to dusting or shaking .Bottle not included in basic kits.

Care: Just hose off dirt and brush with a soft brush. If soap is needed, use a mild non-detergent dish soap. Rise well and dry.
Best to
always transport in plastic bags to prevent friction between the decoys.
Touch Up: For small spots on black flocking use a permanent marker until you can reflock the area or spot. Easy to dab glue on wear spot and reapply fibers, or
apply glue to the whole surface and reflock. This makes the whole surface the same color, because after a few years and lots of exposure to the elements the color may fade slightly. Buff wear spots slightly with scotch brite pad to blend the flock height, if needed, before the application. (Do
not apply to the bill & eyes!)
