A year or so ago I did a 1/2 lifesize mouflon for a fella. He lives in a very wet and rainy part of the Big Island (Hawaii). And recently here they have been experiencing wetter conditions than usual. He called me and says he is concerned because his mouflon has a sticky substance on the hair down on the lower part of both legs. He hasn't done anything to it yet and wanted to know what he should do. For the life of me I don't know what's causing this. I figured it must have something to do with the hide paste if the hide paste was water base, but I can't even remember what hide paste I used for this animal since I had been trying different stuff at the time. Anybody got a take on this?
