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

Almost all fish mounts these days are fiberglass replicas. A good photo and measurements are all you need. Old-style "skin mounts" have the problem that they tend to decay over the years. The fiberglass mounts are sculptures, carefully painted and finished, so over the years all you have to do is dust them and they’ll look great.

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.

I know you can use it for:
• Cleaning greenhouse facilities

• Keep water lines clean

• Remove chlorine from purchased “town water”

• Keep cistern water clean

• Remove iron, sulfur and manganese from well water

• Increase oxygen levels in water and soil-whitens roots!

• Prevent algae growth

• Provide bio-security

• Reduce soil pathogens in re-cycled water from flood floors

• Concrete stain removal

• Mushroom substrate sterilization

• Seed sprouting

• Water features, ornamental fountains, bird baths, aquariums, fish ponds

Taxidermy-bleaching skulls

• Hot tubs

• Swimming pools

• Removing mold from bathroom tile & grout

• Odour removal

• Oxygenating turf grass

• Removing algae from water

Hydrogen Peroxide is swell stuff.

But at 35% concentration it’s kinda powerful and hazardous stuff. 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.
Only problem, in a crash, the Hydrogen Peroxide could leak into the cockpit and bleach and then dissolve the pilot.

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.

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.
The teeth already have a some cracks and such.

You can add a protective coating by painting them with special lacker, varnish, or resins. Here’s a webpage that mentions such products (which are especially used for fossil materials):

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.
After all, enamel (the outer shiny cover of the teeth) is the hardest body tissue.
