Ok so I finished my Snow goose and Duck, here is my dilemma, the zippers are unattached on a lot of the wing feathers, I have tried running my finger over them and also steam to not much success, how do u guys rezip these darn feathers? Any info/tricks would be greatly appreciated, I think I did a “decent” job on my mounts but the feathers r driving me carayzay lol thanks in advance!
1- they may have soap in them still. Make sure the birds are rinsed well.
2- Using a blow dryer, blow the air over the wings, top & bottom like it was flying. They should SELF heal. It may take a few minutes.
3- If it’s the feathers on the shoulders, they may be worn out from migration. A picture would help.

zippers? I have never heard this term, can someone explain the part of the feather to me please?

Skin deep I don’t know if that’s the tech term to use but I am talking about the individual feathers separating, they have microscopic zippers that keep them closed
Page I got them to close up with the help of steam, and patience 🙂 thanks for the reply
