Hi all, I have looked through ALL my catalogs and online with no success. I'm looking for replacement feet for a flying GW Teal. I was given a GW Teal and it had serious freezer burn. I tried to rehydrate but they are really bad. Any suggestions? Thank You in advance for your responce.

How did you try and rehydrate them? What method? I doubt seriously if you indeed need replacement feet... maybe just a bit more patience.

Rehydrating Feet

Inject them with warm soapy water. I've never seen any that could not be rehydrated.


I'll try again

I injected them with stop rot and they wouldn't hold any liquid. It just ran out everywhere. The skin is like torn paper. This is the first time I have had this (I haven't done very many) so I figured it would be easier to just replace. But if I can save them I'd rather.

and place them in a cup of water in the refridgerator for a day or so.they will soften up very nice.
