Title: Wet feather problem
Post by: nampook93 on September 24, 2012, 07:55:00 PM
So i was out stump shooting with my dad and cousin while we were scouting for this years deer season. just so happen that our feathers got wet because it started raining that day, and now they dont sit in the shape they are suppost to. what are some ways to get them back in the original shape again?  :confused:

Try passing them through a stream of steam from a tea pot. Don't overheat the glue.

Yeah, just direct the steam to the feather and avoid the quill. Pass the feather through the steam end to end for about a second each.
