Default borax??

What is it and where do I get it. I am going to mount the tail feathers of my first bird and have read to use this stuff to help keep bugs away.

Default RE: borax??

you can find it in the laundry section of a store, it works great but you have to let the tail cure for at least a mounth..also dip the meaty end of the beard into it so that doesn' t spoil.

I have both the beard and the tail in teh freezer right now until I find this stuff. I have looked at Walmart, P&C, and Home Depot with no luck. Any suggestions.

Try your local Grocery Store you will find it in the " laundry Detergent" section
Wal Mart didn' t have it?
I can hardly believe that []
That is where I always get mine
Look for a Yellow and Green Box it will say 20 Mule Team at the top and in BIG letters BORAX right in the middle.
Remember look in the " Laundry Detergent" Dept.
Good Luck

You can get it at any hunting store. when i keep the fan i pin the feathers in the direction i want them to face. then i sprincle a little borax on it and wait for 3 weeks. if needed i add some more borax ar just regular salt to the meaty part.

Hope this helps
