Fletcher, you've got that right. I set my timer for 7 1/2 minutes for Duco and it has really sped up my production. At that time the glue isn't set enough to shoot but with a tiny bit of care I can certainly turn the jig and put on another feather.

When using a pvc pipe to fully immerse and stain, straighten, then put in pipe, straighten again and keep straightening.

Make sure the grain is oriented correctly.

Make sure glues are compatible.

Use the clear or blue clear as the base dip, if you are dipping the cap dip.  (Wish someone would have told me that before the first time I did it).

Camo feathers look neat, in your quiver, not so much in flight.
I saw bambi too, I got over it.

Before capping with color use a base layer of white. It brightens the colors. Especially with the lighter colors and with the florescent ones. Gary
