How to strip peacock quill with bleach with Johnny Utah 

Thank you!! I been trying to figure out how to strip these forever! : )

Thanks Gaeron, I just put in about a cup or so in several cups of water. I dont have an exact measurement. Good luck. All the best Johnny

Hi Great video. This method works well. What is the best way to dry so that the quills don't stick together? craig

Do you get both light and dark quills? The Quill Gordon as alternate dark and light quills.

How much water and baking soda do you use

Brilliant,top tip mate this will save time and money thanks for sharing.

Bleach is a base. Balling soda is also a base. I'm confused how this neutralizes. Wouldn't a diluted vinegar make more sense to neutralize the pH?

Bleach that you use is one that people use for cleaning toilets?

How much baking soda did you add to neutralizing bath? How long did you leaving neutralizing bath?

Thanks for the tip, great job!

Any bad experiences with the bleached quills i.e. making them brittle/breaking easier, etc.? Thank you.

Thanks Johnny, I fooled around with that after reading Dick Talleur's column, but the fumes bother me. But we have things in common, I have that exact same towel and the laundry room is my favorite work station for fish and game cleaning, washing bucktails and bird skins, etc. I found Oxiclean is great for brightening up bucktail and feathers after a degrease with Dawn. Thanks, and when are you posting new videos?

thanks for the tip we will try it soon.

@particlepete1 Your welcome! it save a ton of time and a good share of money for sure. Have fun with it.

What is the purpose for this? Do they last longer or you just don't want color?

Very helpful. Thanks!
