I recently purchased John David Ellzey's video and book on squirrels. He uses Killer glue just around the mouth and nose area. I was going to use Epo-Grip instead, but shouldn't I use that all over the form or is just the mouth and nose area enough?

I have a video of his as well and that is what I have been using to learn from. I use his forms as well and if you have the right size form for the squirrel there is no need to put Epo-Grip all over the body. The skin will dry and conform to the form. Just remember to tuck the skin in the areas that it needs to be depending on the type or style of form. You can use anything for the face, super glue, Zap a Gap, or what ever adhesive that you have. As long as it holds strong so that the hide will not pull away as it dries. That is just my 2 cents worth.
Does that make a difference if I'm going to be tanning the hide instead of using DP?
