<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The 'fuge decoy forum had a similar thread that ran out of steam so I'll ask here. Do any of you guys know about mixing granulated cork with 2 part urethane to get the "poured cork" decoy? Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using this method as opposed to burlapping or using the mastic with gran. cork covering over the urethane? The other thread mentioned having to seal the cork with spar varnish? How much gran. cork do you use in the foam when you mix it?</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Thanks for your help</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Brian</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Brain,</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">I have never heard of this. Pouring cork? I know that when cork is made(glued) it has to be pressed together with very high pressure to get get a "block" out of it, but i have never heard of what you are talking about. Can you give me and others some more info on this? Maybe then we can all help ya figure it out.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Thanks</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">I had seen some examples of "poured cork" decoys at one of the shows at either Crane Creek or Pt. Mouliee. they were asesome. The thread on the fuge talked of simply adding gran. cork to the 2 part foam when it was mixed and then pouring into the mold. I only know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be helpful.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Brian</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>
