This will probably make some of you guys cringe. But lately I've started using superglue and kick it on holes in the skin of some of the birds I've been mounting to cut down on ALOT of time. Just curious if you guys could see some downfalls in this. It seems to hold great, however the spot that got glued doesn't stretch like it would if it were sewed. Mounts turn out just the same as they would if the holes were sewed. So what do you think? I'd appreciate no smart ace answers.

Ive used it, generally on smaller holes.. pea size and smaller.. anything larger and it can make taxi work a pain.

Super Glue Holes

It works best if you use a small piece of fabric softner paper with it. Biggest drawback is if you let get to the feather side. If it does you will have a mess. Been there and done that. I don't worry about holes smaller than a dime unless it is on the neck


Thanks guys

I don't feel so bad about doing it now.
