Epo-Grip 2 part

You can cool the shop down and cool the paste down before mixing and get about 12-14 hours before it sets hard.

Even at room temps its about a long 4-6 hours.

Its thick and you can put details in with it, and they stay!

No other 2-part offers this advantage!

Lock Tight is also another good one. From Authentic Taxidermy Supply.
I mounted a deer Saturday with it, I really pleased with it.


No problem with wet capes!

Peter,

Mounting wet capes is not a problem. Just wrap the cape in a towel for a short while before you mount so it is not wringing wet. Then proceed as normal. If you have any questions please call me at 800-888-2467


lock tight just dont do what Epo-Grip does.

LT sets way to fast about 3 hours or less is not thick and holds no form or shape of anykind.

Epo-Grip is thicker and you can model it pretty well.

I have used E-G to put swell into the necks of deer!
