I'am mounting my first pheasant and am wonderering which clay to buy to use around neck and wings etc.. Hard or soft? The video did'nt cover this and I had trouble finding it in the archives. Thanks Keith

I have been using wall tile adhesive available from all d.i.y stores, It gives plenty of time to adjust the position of the wings ect.and sets rock hard locking the feather roots in place.I find this method works wery well.
Keith what video is it? I am interested in this method. I have only done a few birds of my own but hve never used clay for any of my work.
The only place on a bird I use clay is in the skull and eye sockets. I prefer critter clay. Although you can get good results form potters clay, there is less shrinkage (I believe anyway) with critter clay. Of course, it does cost more.
