Any advice from yall that like the earliners will be much appreciated.

JawJuice is a "destructive adhesive". Much like welding that melts metal in order to fuse it together, JawJuice melts the plastic to bond it with other plastic. If you attempt to use it on an earliner, you will melt the earliner and have a gob of goo to deal with afterwards.


Sorry there Jason but earliners are old school.

Bondo is a fairly new method to the age of taxidermy. Many things were used before bondo.

Lead sheet, Paper mache, canvas, a number of things, then someone made bondo the hot idea back in the mid 1970's. Maybe because of the drumming many had with the earliner method and poor glues of the era. Someone tried bondo and it worked at lest as good if not better. Some still had drumming with bondo, then back old school earliners.

Then someone figured out that some other glue worked better and people experimented with other materials and newer glues and here were are today.

So you say old school bondo? why not give EAR MAGIC a try? it may be just the ticket for you.


bondo works for me everytime
