Default turkey mount

I'm getting ready to mount my first turkey, I just got the form and artifical head and some othersupplies in. my question is. Do you use an adhesive on the skin to secure it to the form? I was told to just use the borax and then it's ready to beput on the form, but didn't know if any kind of adhesive was used to keep it on the form, thanks in advance for any help.

Default RE: turkey mount

You will nees super glue the gel type to secure the head to the skin, If your going to mount it in a walking position not strutting you can pin the skin to the manikin where ever needed,
under the wings etc.
if it is going to be mounted strutting then leave the skin loose so you can move it around with a large needle or ice pick, so you can line up the feathers.
Good luck.
