Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@yamahondazuki95]

This video was phenomenal 👌You shared alot of good tips and tricks. That side cutter trick is key for getting that fat off and I love the plastic bag trick. Great job man this will help alot on the two I have in my freezer from this turkey season!

We appreciate you watching! Congratulations on the 2 birds

Dude this wash and drying works. I bagged a muddy bird this morning and followed your instructions. I wish I had taken before and afters.

[@EremosOutdoors]

Glad this helped you, congratulations on your bird!!

[@mikemellon80]

i would have thought it wasnt ruined after it washed like that! but no, looks amazing

[@HendershotOutdoors]

That turned out really nice, washing it made it pop in my opinion… nice work, I can tell you have done that many times…👍

[@metrowhitetails]

How long do you let the fans dry after washing? Is it fairly quick and completed with the blow dryer or does it take a few days after blow drying

[@EremosOutdoors]

Blow dry it till dry and that will take about 10 or so mins. You will know when it’s completely dry.

[@brianmalick2946]

Just one question... how long do you leave it in the borax?

[@EremosOutdoors]

We treated it with borax and then about 5 mins later began the final process of bondo. The borax will continue to preserve as it dries

[@brianmalick2946]

@@EremosOutdoors thank you. I was thinking of cutting a hole in the bag and sticking the beard in it. But I think I'll look for a plaque.

[@EremosOutdoors]

@brianmalick2946 not a bad idea! Whatever is your preference

[@natewiemann8843]

How long do you recommend letting it sit in borax? Thanks

[@EremosOutdoors]

Just apply the borax to the base of the fan before you do the bondo process and what doesn’t get bondo on it will have the borax also on it to preserve it. No set time on letting it sit before applying bondo. Less than 5 mins

Great video! It’d be cooler if you didn’t have that hideous stain on your shirt. Bag gobblers! Go Gators! 🐊🐊🐊

[@destinyblankenship8438]

There's definitely a easier way to do that
