richard ,do you have any info available on krowtann ? ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

Well I heard that if you neutralize with baking soda instead of sodium bicarbonate then you double the amount.


















But I don't use the crap so you better ask George ;D ;D ;D

 

wow ! you pulled out the big guns pretty fast on that one !

 

I've only done a few fish, and I have done them both ways. I like 2 eyes, because you don't limit yourself on the way you mount your fish

 

Why use Krowtann? Can't you just tan it with Borax? : :

And for the record I place both eyes in every fish mount.

 

use D P and two eyes, that way if you start competing you will be ready.

 

We use two eyes they came in with two and need to go out with two.
We use WASCO fish tan on ours its easy to use and the fish can set in it til we are ready to do them.

 

I bet all your fish come in with foam bodies, or fish fill, and staples, and glue, and epoxy too huh?? Laquer Paint is a common thing as well in water im sure........

LOL Give me a break.

Its ultimately up to you. If you want to put one in the backside, do it. If you dont, dont.
If you want to paint the backside a bit, paint it. If you dont, dont.

Its a pure judgement call, with no rhym or reason. Like many things. Go with what you feel.

 

Hey Jimmyfish, if you're looking for a walleye eye that doesn't have the white pupil you may want to look at vandykes, they have one that I think is called a walleye reflective natural eye. I like them, the pupil is more black but has some "fogginess" when looked at from different angles.

 

Get em Jimmy !!! LOL
