Love the pattern Andrew. Have you tried this with a burnt wing instead?

Hi, Thank you for watching. Yes. It's more difficult to fold into a tent wing if the wing in not glued or taped, but you can burn 2 feathers and tie them in tented or leave the feather flat for profile.
Can you describe how you make the tin foil “book” that you use in applying the Solarez? Thanks.

Hi Wesley, Just take a small rectangle piece of tin foil and double it over and double it over one more time. You can fold it once, but twice makes it a bit more rigid and durable. Thanks for watching! Andrew
