All,
Has anyone tried bondo for use between the jawset and lipskin. I am mounting a coyote with an open mouth and am out of my regular epoxy. I am wanting to apply bondo and try to smooth it out around the jawset area with my finger..... what do yall think?

Thinned Bondo will go in and smooth out nicely, but it won't BOND with the two dissimilar materials of the jaw and the mannikin. You're likely to have it disbond at the most inopportune time. Better wait for the good stuff.
The jawset has already been set in place. You dont think bondo would make a good gum line?
you don't have any hidemaster or epo-grip you can run to the local hardware store or Wally world and get some 5 or 10 min epoxy. I tried it on my last o/m coyote and believe I will keep using it. Do only about 1 1/2 to 2 inches at time so you can position lips before it kicks.
