I recently watched a squriel mounting video and during the skinning and fleshing he did not turn the eyes or lips. During the mounting the lips and eyes were glued to place? Is this a proper mounting technique for small animals like mink? Or should they be turned as with the larger animals?
Thanks

I turn them on all mammals even squirrels, then tuck as you would a deer. Not as much to work with, but it should be done.
and glue in place. thin skin dries quick so watch it or bag it for 2-3 days.
take shortcuts and just model everything in epoxy sculpt if you chose, or make an extra efort to do a good job. At least Mr. nameless, I hope you are turning and freshing your eyes. Bet you don't turn and bondo the ears of your small mammels either ?
