I am very new to taxidermy yesterday was my forth bird, a Hooded Merganser which came out very well. I did have a problem with injecting the feet, and am looking for some help.
I tried Masters Blend for my first time yesterday and had some problems. I mixed equal parts on the syringe that I used to inject my feet (2cc of each part). No problem injecting the first toe, however by the time I got to the second toe it was already too hard to push through the syringe. Total time from mixing to trying to inject the second toe was only 2-3 minutes max. I did shake the syringe as soon as I mixed the parts other than that I followed the directions and what people have said to do on this form. Any hints or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

MB sets fast, the more volume the faster it will reach critical mass.
Chill one side either A or B, dont expect to inject the complete foot with one mix. You now know you can just do one toe and a time.
Rinse the syringe with lacquer thinner between injections.
