Can someone tell me how to install a set of flex eyes in a wood duck?

They FLEX. You BEND them slightly and put them in the sockets.

Glue them in!

Don't forget to place a drop of superglue in the eye sockets to hold them in.

Do you install them from the outside and push through the eyelid?

I personally hate the plastic flex eyes, but I do like the rings for certain species. So..... I dremmel out the back of the capsule, insert a glass eye from the BACK, and set the capsule in place. Thats just me. For most species, I dont bother with the flex eyes.

Lots of opinions in the archives.
