  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.

    Folks: On a feather, each barb has a "hook and latch" right??? 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
