thanks CJ, much easier than you think! make a plan of the finished mount, take your time and go slow. much of the skinning is done with tweezers and a wet Q Tip with Stop Rot. head inverts easily, if you are careful and take your time. a smooth body is a must, and complete removal of the Humorous  Bone greatly aids in re assembly. no caulk, but chopped Jewelers Tow placed where it is needed. seam is closed with EPO GRIP Mache Magic and pinned until dry rather than sewing
