Bleach goose feathers?
BigWapiti:
I'm wanting to make some white fletches - have goose wings - can they be bleached successfully. So far, I'm not having much luck. Where do you guys get those white feathers? Swans?? :)
Justin Snyder:
White turkeys. Justin
El Destructo:
almost all domesticated Turkey and Geese have white Feathers....you could always dye them also,,,,but this is pretty entailed....you have to strip them of all dirt and Oils first....in either a strong Detergent....or something like Acetone or Benzene....which I would stay away from myself....then bleach them with Peroxide....or use dye on them for what ever color you prefer
BigWapiti:
Domestic turkeys ... duh ... of course, didn't even cross my mind.
But I'll tell ya, bleach eats feathers quick.

Not Household Bleach :o.............. it is a Caustic :P.........you bet it will eat Feathers!!!!! Try Hydrogen Peroxide Solution.if you can get the Stuff that they use for Bleaching Hair....it is stronger...but regular Peroxide will work also!!!
