Eye placement was the subject of Tom Flemming’s continuing saga of the Greater Scaup decoy . Using a
scaup study bill for accuracy, Tom penciled in the exact location with his calipers. The perimeter of the
10mm glass eye was marked (2,3). Using a diamond cylinder in his high speed drill Tom opened the hole for
the glass eye to set in (4,5,6). After checking to be sure the eyes were just the way he wanted them, Tom
mixed some Apoxie Sculpt which is a two-part modeling compound that is very user friendly. Filling the eye
cavities with the clay, the glass eyes are then pressed into the head (7). The clay is then smoothed into the
surrounding area (8,9). The final shaping of the eye is done with a rubber tipped pencil (11,12).
