Default repositioning?

I just finished a duck mount that in the beginning I was very happy with. However I now realize that the positioning of the head isn't that great since it will be hung high on a lofted ceiling. Is there any way to reposition the head without risking the skin?

Default RE: repositioning?

When you say just finished, how just finished? How long has it dried? Sometimes you can inject the skin with water and reposition, but I have never done it, just been told so.

You should be able to minor adjustments to the head without really hurting anything.
