Pete, Thanks... I'll print this out for reference.. BTW, have you, or anybody ever heard of CA super Glue reacting with hair, and making the hair SMOKE???? Scared me to death LOL.. I tied that "caterpillar" looking bug fly out of my wife's hair, and I put one drop of CA glue on the thread knot to keep it tied god, and the hair gets soooo hot, it starts SMOKING LOL... Maybe it is cause she had put some "highlights" in her hair just a few weeks ago, and the hair product reacted with the Glue???? Any ideas???? Thanks, Chuck

I've found that clear, un-sudsing amonia added to 3% peroxide helps the items to not get "bleach- burnt" and also encourages a slower, though more uniform, bleaching action. BUT the fibers do get "less stiff" / more brittle... depends on the application, but I use the amonia to peroxide in 50%/50% with great results. DO NOT use the amonia mix on rudiment byproducts (ie pig, cow, elk, deer, etc) as it will flake the hair from the hide... and make a mess in the bucket or sink you are using... and cause your wife to give you that "aww, you're in trouble now..." look... ;) Tight lines, Pete On 6/26/05, Harmen Boshuis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bleached (peroxide) Canada goose wing feathers make great caddis wings. > Come out a ginger brown. > > Harmen
