The eye lid seems to always to be the toughest part for me. Aside from a wood duck which has a noticeable eye ring. What methods do some of you use to secure the eye lid to the head? I’ve seen clay used in a video and I school black epoxy was used. The epoxy seems too lose its tackyness when placing the skin around the eye. Just curious if anyone may some advice on this.

Thanks

i used glue and was told to put a pen in the corner.

I’ve been building all of mine with apoxie sculpt ahead of time. Make sure the lid stays damp & it should pretty much attach itself at that point. Sometimes I do have to go back & rehydrate them a little if they pull away. I’ve always been scared of glue around the eyes. It’s really hard to get off if you get it in the wrong place.
