Hey, Rodney- I have to think about that one, honestly, as I've only done one thing, and I doubt it's what you're looking for... what i've done before is spray the feather with a fast-drying aerosol adhesive, then lay it flat on a non-stick surface (I used plastic painter's tarp and sandwitched the feathers between the tarping, then set a flat and heavy book on top of the tarp). Still, I think there's an easier way to do what you describe... Tight wraps, Pete

You know when you get a package of say > saddle hackle, some of the feathers are just about a perfect size to use but > have a "curve" in them, which make them almost unusable as an "underwing" or > "overwing"... Will steaming them straighten them out, or will that > "wet-stick" technique be the best way to reshape them?????
