horse hair & feathers

[crowvisions]

what's the best glue to use for tipping bustle feathers with horse hair?

[Blackbear]

Just a guess since I have'nt done it myself.. but seems tacky glue would be the best suited for that.

[yuchgeha]

Plain old Elmer's glue works good and drys clear.

TESTER'S MODEL GLUE!!!!!!!! Can get it anywhere cheap. Dries clear, doesn't take much. Works great

gorilla glue

oops sorry........gorilla glue is a glue you get in a hardware store..do you have a lowes? or home depot? it is near their paint isle,,,a friend told me about it when it first came out sometime ago and i have used ever since kinda expensive but worth it. it is near the paint isle in lowes.................not sure about home depot though....good luck.....if you cant find any let me know......

[crowvisions]

yeah i have a home depot over here. now it's a toss up between the testers model glue and gorilla glue. how much is the gorilla? and does it hold better than the model or about the same?

Pards:
I was wondering whether you could tip the feathers with something different then horse hair. I heard that the bustle represents a battlefield ,and the horse hair represents scalplocks. is there any other variations to the bustle?

I've heard of using cow's tails, Angora hair, plumes, Ribbon (only seen it on the uprights). Who knows there may be others that people use.

[crowvisions]

i've seen ribbon of the other feathers than the uprights in the book powwow: images along the red road. but i think tx_grass_dancer sumed them up. haven't heard anything else used.
