[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1946256, member: 99519"] Sweet....always nice not to have a taxidermist to blame,for bad work....hope your wife is satisfied....😳 Toughest skin mount I have done is an albacore tuna....about 20#....unlike ordinary fish that have all their scales on the outside of the exterior skin...the tuna has a very thin layer of skin from mouth down about a third of its body...and then a really skinny tail to debone with lots,of heavy tendons....way i look at the tuna...its an evolutionary fish....covered scales in the front should promote an extremely fast swimmer...and sure enough...they can fly...literally...swim so fast they can leap several feet out of the water and travel quite a ways horizontally........other tough part is getting all the oils out of the skins..... Scales easily come out of a stripers skin...secret is to super glue them back in place......the correct scale.....jigsaw puzzle... [/QUOTE]
