Thanks Wes...  I'll try using that...  I really like the medium to dark dun
color especially with the dun colored BWO's we have here mostly in sizes
from a #18 to a #22...

Just buy a Chartpac or Pantone marker from Michael's or other craft
store and with a couple of swipes, reapply the color you want.  There
is a full range of light greens, greys and warm tones.

A note:  I have stopped buying any plastic type winging materials like
Medallion Sheeting and just make my own.  Find a plastic sheet of
appropriate weight, pull the plastic across a medium grit foam
sandpaper block until you get the veining pattern you want in the
wing.  If you want it colored, apply the Pantone marker.  Cheap and
effective.
