refilling wind checker bottle?
« on: August 28, 2011, 10:33:32 AM »
tried a few different things and baking powder has worked the best for me but not great.  Any suggestions on what might work better?

I was at a seminar on blacktails at cabelas yesterday. The guy seemed very knowledgeable. He uses an Elmers glue bottle wrapped in tape and filled with a fine corn starch. Much cheaper and hold more. He also does something I thought was genius... he grabs a handful of down from an old pillow and puts it in a ziplock baggie dropping one feather at a time. That way you can watch the feather and see what the wind is doing for more than 2-3 seconds and it weighs nothing.

I have a big talc rock that I use a belt sander on. Unbeatable in my opinion, and free.
