Title: Hide glue advise?
Post by: adrenalinapursuit on April 19, 2013, 05:42:18 PM: Hey I'm looking for some advice. I'm somewhat new to taxidermy and doing a couple shoulder mounts right now. I didn't wanna buy the hide paste they sell at mckenzie, wondering if anyone has any ideas or recipes for making homemade glue with normal any common store supplies? I'm not looking to make a huge batch, just enough for a couple deer heads for now??
