Had a jake fan all tacked out to dry with some borax on it to use on my deke this year. I recently purchased a fan holder so instead of drilling a hole through the hard part on the fan I want to pluck the feathers out so I can put them in the holder.
How do I go about re-hydrating it well. I have had it sitting in water for a while, but its still very tough.
Any tips?
Leave it in the water it will rehydrate.
Trap.. I did the same thing, except I did drill the fan. I drilled it so that an aluminum arrow shaft would fit in the hole. Then I cut a piece of the arrow shaft and stuck it in the hole, so that the bolt would tighten on the shaft and not the tail. It works like a charm and will never wear out. Just a thought..Mike
Just get a sharp knife and have at it
