Post by: Karl Blanchard 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?

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.
