Title: waterproof paint for calls
Post by: bluegill68 on April 30, 2016, 05:00:42 PM
Friends,

A while back there was a paint like product that would waterproof the box call surfaces? I have looked for a while but can't find it any more. Anyone know where I can find it  or have you been using a replacement product?

Thanks BG68

I think it was called box call magic. Haven't seen it in several years. Haven't really seen anything that replaces it.

I think Penn's Woods made it.

Thanks,

You are both right but, neither make the product today. I have heard that some folks were using JB Weld as a substitute. has anyone here experimented with it?

From what i've read people are using Chalkboard paint made by Rustoleum it's in a spray can, comes in black, spray 2 or 3 thin coats and sand lightly. i would try it first on a cheap old box call to see if i like the product.

Got a striker with JB weld tip. Awesome sound and really grips the surface.

Or, try some Rain Chalk. I use it on several f my calls and it works really well.
Midwest Turkey Calls has it I think, or do a search for it.
You Tube has a video on it also.
