I just bought a pair of glass bubble eyes for a squirrel. This may be a stupid question, but do you just push them into the mannikin, or do you need to make a slight depression for the end to go into with clay. I don't want to start jamming it in there and crack the glass. Thanks for your time.

It is best to dremel out the eye orbits in the mannequin and fill with clay. Most manneqions are just an artists interpretation of what the antomical fom looks like, and will be slightly different with each specimen. Fill with clay, and then seat the eyes to the desired depth when mounting

Hollow out depression and set in clay or Apoxie Sculp.
they suck. I dont like them, and I am going back to the flat black eyes.
