For drying, I hang my tail (fluke) up between a chain covered in a thick plastic tube so it does not damage the tail. When it's dry I storage my tail flat. I have an extra bathroom upstears where I can store my tail stuff etc, next to the crafting room. ^^
awesome ideas! I need to find better storage ways for my tails since my tail room is now becoming a nursery. My friend had an idea to build a netting system to go on the ceiling of my guest room with pulleys so I could bring them down whenever I want, they would be out of reach of my daughter's hands when she can walk around, and they would be decorative without being in the way. Of course I couldn't put them up there when they're wet, that would be gross. Hm. Will let ya'll know what I come up with.
Haha I haven't been on as much so much as I have been trolling on other threads haha but I've missed a few good updates!
Iona that is such a good hanger! How is the stress and wear levels on the fluke?
I tried moding a generic target rack and it make crazy impressions on my fluke and since it hung over the door my tail hit the ceiling!

Since the hooks are positioned to work with the curve of the fluke, and also have foam cushioning, I haven't seen any pressure indentations on my fluke. I looked at it closely and it doesn't seem to put enough pressure on it to do that. I'm keeping an eye on it though
Also I know Raven uses this kind of hanging storage for her tails too. There are photos of it somewhere.
Maybe need my husband to do the hanging for me haha but it seems pretty inexpensivewhat do you use to dry them? Or do you just hang it with a towel under it?

In a previous post I have made the tail stand below to dry my tail after swimming.
With the tail stand, I have not noticed any areas on the silicone where the pvc pipe has done any damage of any sort. I store my tail flat on the bed in spare bedroom. If there is any moisture left I take a towel and dry that and then let it rest as needed.
Did you glue the peices together or just attach them? Can you disassemble it easy?

My stand can be disassembled and the velcro straps are then used to hold all the pieces together for transportation. Anything that is horizontal has been glued together so that when assembled the weight of the tail will hold everything vertical down. And my hope is in a little while be able to use some of the pieces to create a cage like structure to place over my tail in a suitcase when travelling by air. Hope that helps.
It does!i even hear people make backpack like bags for air planes and traveling too!

Since my tail is silicone I dry the inside out with towels. I do put a towel under the tail just in case there's any additional water that was hiding in the crevices of the foot pockets.Originally Posted by jayy

Iona, where can you get those hooks? I've been looking for them!
This thread is, like, a year old. But if you Google search the names of the product from the packaging, you should come up with places to buy them pretty easily. For example, just typing in the name of the hook on the right hand side came up with multiple hits for Home Depot.
Well, i did get guitar holders. Like ones you nail and hang into the wall? They are padded, so im waiting for my husband to put them up to test out!
