have seen several how to's lately on coloring with kool aid. anyone get creative and splice with kool aid? if so, share your method. thanks in advance mat tG

I’m not sure I’m getting you on this one. Splicing to me is cutting a feather section or sections out and remarrying dif ones together. What does kool aid have to do w it?

Not really a splice, but...

Yes. Like the Rifleman shows. It would be very hard to get distinct lines but I think the fade is very attractive. >>>----> Ken

You may be able to pull the quills apart and dip carefully for a clean "splice" but that sounds a lot like work.

exactly - anyone ever pull the quills apart and "splice"? this would eliminate the need to have 2 different feathers. in other words color only part of the feather. thx mg

I'd bet a saturated q-tip would allow decent control.

Those are SLICK, John!

LOL! K!

I like those fletchings Riflleman

Rifleman, those are cool!

Yes, I'd like to know how Rifleman did that. Very nice looking.

Thanks guys! I just started with white feathers i cut to length. After washing them w dishsoap and rinsing, i heated a coffee mug half full of water in microwave, added 3 packets of orange KoolAid and 1tbsp vinegar. Then i stood feathers up in mug for about 20-30 minutes. Careful when taking them out as its easy to get dye on your fingers and then on white section. Also start w less liquid than you think you need so you have more whitetail. Another tip--- i got a great yellow color using food coloring.

I have made red white and blue using kool aid red cherry (white per cut fletchings and blue razzberry) . take a cup and mix the cool aid color (warm w table spoon of white vinger ) dip 1/3 of the fletching held in place with cloths line clips let dry and repeat on other end with the other color(leaving the center white) sorry no photos

It is pretty cool looking
