Skinning and Skin Mounts 



99 



Fig. 98. Here you can insert a piece of wood, which has been water- 

 proofed with lacquer or hot wax, directly into the plaster. The wood will 

 serve as a base for attaching screw eyes or hanging wire, or a backboard 

 can be screwed to it. A wire for hanging can be inserted into the plaster 

 instead (while the plaster is still soft). 



Fig. 99. It is better to chip away a bit of the mold so that the mount will 

 release easily rather than to force the fish out of it.
