Getting ready to mount my first fish. Was wondering what type of adhesive do you fish guys use on your skin mounts?

Sorry not to get back to you sooner. When you wrap the skin around the foam body use a staple gun to staple the skin down the seam and let it dry. Then pull out the staples and cover the seam with the same material you use to back the fins.

You can use regular hide past if you have it. Staple the non show side, and use sculpt epoxy to do the seam and apply your scale pattern to it for a great looking non show side as well. If in a pinch use calk for the paste… not the seam filler.
