'Roll your own'...like before manufactured cogarettes were made...like before commercial Taxidermy Forms were made.
Get a copy of the Breakthrough Mammal Taxidermy Manual from WASCO. Also John Bellucci's Squirrel Mounting Video from WASCO...he shows HOW to make a form from excelsior.
John's video is on Squirrels...but the technique is identical...well worth the investment in your education...can't shout that long and loud enough.

thank you for your information, i found a mannikin thats 3\8" bigger than the weasel. hopefully when it thaws completely it will be close or i might be able to trim it down yhanks again bill
I'm a bit confused ('Everybody Chants Loudly'..."Par for the course for ETCC")...did you take the measurements from a Frozen Specimen? Tsk, tsk, tsk. 20-Lashes with a wet noodle.
Never take your measurements from a Frozen corps. Thaw it completely first to get the accurate mneasurements to order or build the correct size form. I'm sure the Weasel skin will fit your form without problem now that you clearified the situation.

ETCC. Thanks again for your info. I had my girlfriend whip me with her pasta like you said. After thawing it made up the 3/8 inch. Bill
