Default RE: Had to take my mount in

Sounds like alls well that ends well. Let me give you guys some advice...the distributors who supply foam for the form companies had to switch foam recently, due to CFCs as the propellent for the foam being banned. The resulting foam product is a bit softer with less "rind" or hard surface. So, when the average, unsuspecting taxidermist slots the lip line to receive the skin, he cuts deep like he always has. Then the skin pulls at the form, like usual, only this time, the softer foam gives a little more, and exposes a little more. You taxidermists might try cutting the lip slot tighter and less deep. Also, you can run some strong epoxie into the slot if it DOES get a bit too deep, or run a drywall screw through the chin, going back behind the nostril work, just to keep it from spreading. All this is BEFORE applying the cape, of course. Hope that helps ahead of time!
