cleaning bone marrow from a mounted birds feathers

Submitted by Chris on 10/15/05 at 9:20 PM. ( ) 66.168.142.33

I had a white-front goose that I just mounted yesterday. As I was messing with a wing I accidentally cracked a bone in the lower wing and immediately got a marrow leak spot about the size of a quarter on the feathers. Anybody have a reccomendation for cleaning that area?

Thanks
Chris

Small drill bit

Take a small drill bit drill a hole in each end, stick the compressed airgun up to it, point it into the trash and blow it out, then take some pipe cleaner or wire and push some borax into the bone,
make sure to get all the marrow out you can from all the bones.
