You clay in the eye socket like you would with a regular eye. The flex eye is going to have a ring on it like the Woody would have normally had. You simply put the wood ducks eyelid around and behind the flex eyelid and your done. I used the eye rings on a couple of wood ducks before and didn't like them. you might want to trim the eyelid of the wood duck off some if it is protruding badly from behind the eye ring. A wood Duck has a big eyelid and it sometimes needs to be trimmed back or it will look bad
