Been a couple of years ago, but someone posted about a plastic jig used to hold the fan spread out while it dries. I bought some, but of course, can't find them now. Would like to order some more. I've searched here and the web, but no luck. Anyone have a lead or link to this product?
Thanks in advance...

Is this what you want

My buddy and I just use a flattened cardboard box and small stick pins to stick the feathers to the cardboard. Each feather can be manipulated to cover missing/broken tail feathers. That and some borax and curing time and you have yourself a preserved turkey fan.

Actually a really cool idea... Problem with trying to sell those, is that even for me they would be easy to make...

I looked into getting one of these after someone else mentioned them..They look slick!
The think I was confused about was that 1 of them is $15, or 3 of them is $15..If Im reading that right?
OP..if this is what you are looking for and you order one, order the 3 pack and I will buy one off of you...
If you get just one you get a DVD with it, or you can skip the DVD and get 3 for the same price. I keep one in my vest, one in my waist pack, and one in the vehicle so no matter what I'll have one with me. They work great!

I use a small piece of plywood with 3 finishing nails lined up and 6" apart to hold the fan. Cheap and very effective.

this is the method i use
I use a piece of plywood and use 1" sheetrock screws placed where needed.I then place rubberbands between each set of screws to help hold it all down against the plywood.Borax it and let it sit.
^^^^ this by far.....cheap and everything can be found at most homes....I have done dozens this way

Thanks Treerooster, and thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Here is a very cheap spreader that works pretty good.
I'm thinking about putting an order in for a couple of the Skip Enterprise ones simply for taking field photos (I could make something out of plywood, but for a couple bucks, I'd rather have one that isnt going to snag on things in my bag), and I'm curious if there is anyone here who would be interested in buying one from me if I order a few.
I need a couple for myself, but the more I buy the cheaper they are, so I'm just trying to make them cheaper for everyone if there are a couple guys here that want them..

cheap and very effective. been doing this for years.
I've got a 2 inch thick sheet of Styrofoam that I have used for years. The finish nails go into it easier and I position tiles on the fan to weight it down so it drys nice and flat.
