Have you ever had trouble getting clay into the toes of small animal skins?
If so, next time try this method:
Step 1: Roll out little sausages of Critter Clay to the shape and size of the toes of the animal, then put them in the freezer for several hours.
Step 2: Remove the clay sausages from the freezer one at a time, inserting them in the toes of the skin as you go.
Step 3: In a few minutes, the clay will thaw, and the toes can then be positioned.
Note: This method can also be used on tails.
This and other great mounting tips from Roger Martin can be found in the instruction video, Bobcat Mounting Basics.
