When you are doing ducks or geese, other than painting what else do you do for the feet? is there something that needs to be injected into the feet to make them appear better?

There are many different kinds of injectable filler to keep the legs from shrinking. The legs will shrink in the drying process unless you plump them with one of these injectable chemicals. Take a look as WASCO or some other company for the supplies you will need.

Jerry,

A two-part base/catalyst product called Kwik Poly is excellent as an injectable for waterfowl (as well as turkey, pheasant, etc.) tarsus and feet. It sets up quickly, and holds form very well. I have used it also for casting bills, molding rocks etc, though I prefer WASCO's Liqua Cast for these uses.

To find more information regarding this product see http://kwikpolyllc.com
