Anyway I am going to mount my first weasele useing the skull.
My question is how do I attach the lips to the skull at the gum line do I use glue - epoxie ?
Thanks for all of the help!

I have to ask, WHY? That's playing with fire at best and looking for failure at worst. The real skull will HAVE to be removed, cleaned, dried and then rebuilt with clay or Apoxie before you can tuck the lips as normal, but I don't even like the sounds of your intentions. Buy a good form and mount conventionally.
I have already cleaned,dried and rebuilt the skull with clay.Do I
now tuck the lips in the clay?.I want to show it's teeth
that is why I am useing the real skull.
any more comments would be a big help.
Why would you want to use the real head? Anyway, if all your worried about is to show it's teeth, why not cut it's bottom and top jaw off. Then order a mannikin for your weasel. Next, make your alterations to the mannikin so you can fit the two jaws inside of it! You might need to cut the jaws in half(length wise) so that the weasels original jaw set can properly fit inside the mannikin. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes!
