Thread: Putting Humpty Dumpty together again

For skulls that have been cut in half for shipping we drill holes and use wire to tie it together then fill them with epoxy but these skulls are for mounts, it wouldn't look too good on a euro.

Yes. I head shot a 12" Tahr and did exactly that. Boiled with napisan, sieved the water to get all the bits and painstakingly glued him together again with a 2 pot epoxy. It looks fine now.
