is Epo-Grip better then using formaldehyde on feet/wings and bills.

You can certainly use Epo-Grip injectable on the feet. I haven't personally used it. I have used masters blend and fantastic cast. The masters blend sets a little too fast for me and the fantastic cast sets too slow. On the wings, you need to use a preservative...like Rittels Preservz-It or formaldehyde. The epoxy products are used mainly to prevent shrinkage. When you inject wings, you want to preserve the little bit of meat that is left in the last section of wing. I typically skin and flesh this area on most birds. Some are too small or too delicate. I don't know why you'd need to use anything on bills. If you use the real bill, let it shrink and then rebuild it with apoxie sculpt.
