feet injection

Submitted by cd on 01/19/2003. ( ) 152.163.189.131

I mounted a duck the other day that had freezer burnt feet so i injected the feet with water, making them pliable. After mounting the duck i tried injecting Epo-Grip and the Epo-Grip just leaked through the holes i had made when injecting the water. What should i do different? Should I not inject with water and just inject with Epo-Grip or what?

After injecting put a piece of masking tape or black tape on the hole.

I'm not sure how you would get tape to seal up something that is leaking fluid, but if you stick a pin in the hole when you pull out the syringe it will solve your problem.
