Caught a fish, hadn’t intended on Taxidermy, but I kept it’s head anyway (27 inch long spotted sea trout) now I sort of regret that decision.. I have pictures… and obviously his head.. I kind of want it stuffed because its the best trout I’ve caught, was hoping for suggestions or wondering if it was even possible without the body to have a fake one made for it I recall seeing a mount of a 20+ pound largemouth bass caught in So. Cal. in the 1990s — the fish was weighed, measured, photographed, and released, so there was no actual fish for the taxidermist to work with, and he did a great job. It looked just like the real fish, and the markings and pot-belly matched the photos. Anyway, make sure you check out samples of a taxidermist’s work before you hire him — check out the jobs he’s done on other fish of the same type, as a guy who is good with sailfish might not be good with spotted sea trout.

Not to mention, pricey. If it spills onto anything other than very clean glass or plastic, it’s going to release a lot of heat and steam and oxygen. So it’s probably banned from the mails and UPS and anything other than high-priced truckers. The Germans used it in the V2 rockets in ww2. They also used it as oxidizer in a rocket-powered plane. I doubt if you want to buy the stuff to "disinfect" or de-smell your septic tank. At over $10 a gallon, it’s a very expensive and hazardous version of Febreeze. Creative and more then just Bob’s Taxidermy. Thanks! I have a set of bear teeth that I want to wear as a necklace. Is there anything I need to put on them, to protect them from becoming brittle or breaking? I don’t wanna run around with these around my neck and them fall apart or chip. However, if you’re going to use the teeth for a necklace, I think they won’t break if you are just careful, unless they’re deeply cracked.
