Hi,
I was wondering what you used to bone the fin and how you attached it to your tail?
Thanks

hi there, i used a type of boning used in hoop skirts, it was a 5 mm plastic tube, with a little bend to it.. hard to explain, i got it from a plastics company.
i then made the bones longer than needed so that the extra bone could wedge into the tail , i sandwiched it in a glued it in and then when the fabric went on i also attached with hand sewing.
hope that helps
