B-Mobile Decoy

[Rev Ev]

I had some gift cards to BPS and decided to get a B-mobile.  When it came in the mail  today, I took it out and am less than impressed.  The body won't unfurl.  I have read to use a hair dryer, but I'm wondering if I'll have to do this everytime.  Anyone else use it and like it.  I don't want to spend the time using an old fan and putting the feathers in the holder if I'm just going to return it.

I have a B-mobile I bought off ebay few years ago and it too came curled up. I read online somewhere that you should open it up and place it over a wide box like a case of copy paper and leave it there for a week. I did it and it seemed to do the trick. When I store it after the season, I stick a 2x4 cut to size to fit inside touching the inside of the wings and prop it up out of the way.

As stated above set it on a box and leave it there for a bit. Or the hair dryer trick works too.

wow 40 seconds until the video started. that's a good tip. Mine was all flocked up too. I put it outside in the sun and used some sticks in the ground to keep is spread out in the right position for some time.
