Chuck, if you let the feather barbs dry in the separated state, I'm sure that's why they're not 'velcro-ing' back together. Try to get them joined while they are still wet.

Like velcro that sticks all the barbs together to make a complete feather right??? Ain't that how it works??? But on the wild turkey feathers I processed myself, I wash them with warm water and Dawn dish detergent, but some of the barbs get separated.. i thought you could just let the feather dry, then stroke the barbs back together again, but it don't seem to be working like that for Me.. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong??? Thanks, Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
