Suede-Tex nylon fibers are popular with decoy flocking and rod makers. They are also excellent for lining boxes, picture framing, auto restoration, and anywhere the traditional rayon fibers may be used. Because of their unique qualities and slightly longer length, nylon fibers are priced slightly higher than the traditional rayon fibers. They are available in a variety of colors.

Application of the flock fibers is identical for both nylon and rayon, using the same DonJer undercoat adhesive and application equipment.

Nylon is currently available in 16 colors. They are as follows:

With the increased popularity of flocked decoys (duck and goose), many waterfowlers would like a simple way to "do-it-yourself" — economically.

Both Suede-Tex rayon and nylon fibers have been used for decoy flocking, and it has been determined that the nylon is better. Suede-Tex nylon fibers are a more durable fiber, therefore, they stand up to handling better and are more weather resistant.

DonJer Products' Suede-Tex nylon flock fiber and color-matched undercoat adhesive is clearly the answer to successful decoy flocking…

One 3 oz. bag of fibers will cover approx. 2 dozen Bigfoot decoys. One 1 lb. bag will cover approx. 10 dozen Bigfoot decoys.

Our adhesive is a solvent based adhesive that has been colored to match the fibers. It dries permanently and the finish will not be affected by water or cold temperatures. One 8 oz. can is recommended with the 3 oz. bag of fibers; three 8 oz. cans are recommended with the 1 lb. bag of fibers.

Application:
To prepare your decoy, using a wire brush, rough up the surface so that it holds the adhesive better. Brush on a generous coating of adhesive and immediately apply the fibers using DonJer's mini flocker applicator which will give you a smooth, even finish. Once it dries remove the excess fibers and reclaim them for future use. Complete instructions for the application of the finish are included in each mini flocker.

"Flocking can be used to create a soft, velvety surface on a hard item, or to create a more durable and non-slip surface on a smooth or otherwise non-durable surface." So says Tom Kirkman in his article in RodMaker Magazine (Aug. 2004).

He continues to advise, "Flocked seats are very comfortable and warm to the hand during cold weather fishing. A small flocked area on ferrule reinforcement wraps results in a non-slip surface which aids in taking rods apart. Surf rod butts traditionally wrapped with cork tape can be treated to flock. Use your imagination and add one more creative yet functional trick to your rod building repertoire."
