Forgive me if these are stupid questions.
I have a dozen foam brant decoys I picked up for pennies, practically, 2 years ago. They are in need of some TLC. They are raw foam, painted. I understand that I'll get way more mileage out of them by burlapping them. Two questions I have...
1) What is the go to method for repairing foam bodies? For example, two of the decoys have big chips out of the tail.
2) Is it recommended to strip the paint prior to burlapping them? I worry the burlap will not adhere to the pre-painted bodies. I supposed if I have to strip the paint, some light sanding would be best.
