I hear all this hype on Ear Magic and now I'm itching to give it a go.. So explain to me how it works ? You just turn the ear as usual, but don't peel off the cartilidge ? Leave the cartilidge on and then pour Ear Magic in and vowla, your ear is amazing ? No liner or anything else ? Am I wrong or am I missing anything ? I can't wait to give it a whirl, I've been using liners up until now, but everyone has me thinking that this is the answer...

Ear Magic is a 5 minute, clear epoxy that is saturated with silk fibers. You shouldn't mix any more than you'd need for ONE EAR. When mixed, push a dollop down inside the ear pocket and squeeze it to the ear tips and then work it around the edges. I like to take a wall paper roller and make sure I haven't left any "bumps". You'll feel it heat up through the skin, and thats your cue to shape and form your ears in the posture you want them. You can continue to do this for up to 6 hours which allows you to mount your deer and do some final posing. It truly is great stuff.
WOW! I've never heared of this stuff before. Who sells it? I'm all over this stuff!
Is the stuff durable? I've seen lots of cases where bondo ears have broken inside especially around the edges.
I would also suggest once you get complete coverage inside your ear to use a small brush and get your hair patterns flowing in the right directions before the mixture kicks
