SKINNING, FLESHING & MOUNTING A HOODED MERGANSER HEN PREENING
by Second 2 Nature Taxidermy Supply with Tab Hinton ¾ Hr
Tab starts with a breast incision and skins the duck. A wire wheel is used to flesh and degrease, then soaked in soapy water. Eyes are rough set and the duck is mounted on a urethane body and sewn up. He then sets the duck on a piece of driftwood and injects the wings with denatured alcohol. Tab works on positioning the duck. Painting of the feet finishes this beautiful mount.
