I broke my squirrels tail in half

I was trying to skin the tail and broke it in half. My question is do I use a different tail or try to repair the tail I messed up. I'm leaning towards using a different tail cause it will probably be easier to hide that reconnection. Dave Luke makes things luke to damn easy in his videos.

Just finish skinning the tail.

Mount the citter and then piece it back together. You are using an artificial tail or wrapped one aren't you? If you are it is just that simple. Just make sure you match the pieces and when you groom the tail it should be invisible.

I DID THE SAMETHING LAST WEEK. I FINISHED SKINNING AND SALTED AND DID ALL THE TANNING AND WHEN MOUNTING, JUST GLUED IT BACK ON THE TAIL WIRE. YOU COULD NEVER TELL IT WAS BROKE. JOSH T.
