Hello All - A common "problem" with the Elmer's glue habitat method is wood absorbing moisture out of the glue mixture causing the Wood Base to warp or crack. Eugene Streekstra - Wildfowl Unlimited (AKA WINGMAN) helped put together the following visual/tutorial methods to avoid that issue. You can also click into

A special thanks to Eugene for his generosity and assistance in putting this together. Going forward we will be including a complimentary color printout of these two methods with all of our taxidermy orders shipped.
