PARKER’S MALLARD HEN These instructions are intended for general working decoys. Decoy size, shape & texture may vary, so adapt your technique accordingly. Before painting, prepare the decoy surface by sanding or cleaning to remove encrusted dirt, scale & loose paint. Use wood patch or filler to patch cracks, checks & shot pellet damage. Be sure the head is secure before painting. All other decoys with the exception of Styrofoam or blow-up decoys, prime with a universal primer. Styrofoam or blow-up decoys can be primed with the decoy paint body color. Be sure that the primer is completely dry before applying paint. Stir paint well before using. Deep or dark decoy colors may need multiple coats to ensure a solid tone. Allow each coat or color to dry before applying subsequent coats. Do not thin decoy paint if brushing. Thin sparingly—10% maximum—if applied with an airbrush or spraying. If thinning is required, paint thinner or mineral spirits is recommended. Jars of decoy paint may form a thin skin on top, remove this before stirring. Before storing Parker’s decoy paints, place a small amount of paint thinner or mineral spirits in container, secure lid as tight as possible & store container upside down. Painting procedure for Mallard Hen. Paint the entire decoy with #8 Tan. Allow to dry completely. Using a soft pencil, lightly sketch in the various sections as shown. Section A .
