Using The Cast Lip System

I used them and for the bear, didn't really care for the detail. Headquarters bear head with their jaw cup is much, much better. The coyote cast lips that I used seemed good.

 

You are welcome.

Cast lip or cast face? I have used his cast face bobcat and was pleased with the end product. It is beneficial to know how to mount a bobcat conventionally first, but having no experience with bobcats will still get you an ok mount. I had done several conventionally before I used his and it helped a lot in achieving a much better than ok mount.

 

I’ve used them and it’s like anything else , if done correctly they look good .

 

I don't use super glue on them, but use epoxy. You still need to babysit to keep the seam as tiny as possible.

 

I use super glue gel , don’t like epoxy cause of the heat it kicks out when it kicks off , main thing is to keep all your lip lines equal at all points

 

I use really slow set epoxy, so heat isn't an issue, but I could see where it might be with fast set epoxy.

 

When you buy it , they send you a paper with it on how to use . Very simple

 

Yes, I remember using one before. A long time ago. Pretty simple process.

You can also access the instructions on their website under product instructions. It's down by the big red HOW TO button. If I remember correctly, I bought the video of Mike Gillis installing the system from McKenzie. It's pretty straight forward. I used it on a howling coyote.

 

Vm11DP is the video that they sell on how to use them.

 

We use Magic-Smooth. There is nothing exceptional about it for this particular task, it's just what we purchase and use for a variety of things.

 

i actually use the original lips and nose and super glue them around the cast lips. I like the detail in the teeth and tongue but just do not like trimming off the lips and nose. I sand down the cast lips and clay over the nose. It takes very little time to do and is very easy to finish up after. I like the form with the mouth installed and this is just the way i do it. Not saying everyone should also.

 

I do something similar. I also use the real nose skin on top of the cast nose. This way you don't have to deal with the seam around the nose.

 

i just always wonder how gluing around the lips will hold up over the years .
