I have no problem making the bird look good feather wise and everything else. Althoguh I can never get the feet to really look that good. Im not going to be competing in tournaments probably for another year or two but I would still like my customers to be satisfied with their birds feet. Can somebody please help me with my problem.

What exactly is your problem......shrinkage, paint schedule, or what? Ya need to be more specific. I figure you are talking about shrinkage. U need to inject them with something like Master's Blend and then paint.


Good looking Feet!

Another problem people have...Is dried up feet before they even inject...This can be avoided by wrapping your feet with damp cloths and secure with twistie ties before freezing...Then during the entire mounting process, I actually keep the feet wrapped as well! Then when it comes time to inject, my feet are moist and easily plump up! I use to have problems with dried up feet before I started doing this!
If this is your problem...This will fix it...If you have extremely freezer burned feet, you can try injecting the feet with warm soapy water before hand! That works too sometimes...
