I have taken classes in taxidermy from a local taxidermist who I did one Mule deer with, I have started another and ran into a problem. After it was placed on the form and everthing tucked and pinned it has dried. A couple times a day I checked on it and brushed it. My problem is I did not catch the fact that the right tear duct has pulled out where the right stayed tucked into place. Now the left is "bigger" more skin showing. Is there anything that I can do to repair/cover/hide this?

Assuming you are talking about the pre-orbital gland as opposed to a "tear duct" and if you didn't use an epoxy hide paste, then soak the area and start over. No big deal! Good luck!
