RunnyD Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 A few years ago I stiffened up a mottled turkey feather to use as wing cases for stoneflies. Well I've used up the last of that feather and need to do another. Does anyone remember what I used to lacquer the feather? I don't think it was head cement as I assume it would make the feather brittle. Flexament perhaps? What do you guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I use Dave's flexament. Coat the underside of the feather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Dave's Flexament works great but lately I have been using Shoo Goo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunsie Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Go to an art shop and get Fixitif. Comes in a spray can and is used for sealing charcoal/pencil drawings. Pricey but a can will last years. BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
