Scott, Just use the right length wire and put some cotton (cotton balls work fine) on there and wrap it with thread until you get the right size.

u cut it off the squirrel
I wrapped them for years, but the best product to use is masking tape. It allows the skin to slide easily. The BEST bet however is to buy one. John David Ellzey sells them direct or through the major suppliers that carry his forms.
Yes buy one where ever you bought your form should have a tail.I use Ellzeys or you can buy them right out of your WASCO catalog.If you have a small squirrel I have just used a wire and clay at the base and work it up some.
You IDIOT!
You cut it off the squirrel!
