Painting the Mount 



105 



Fig. 102. The first step in painting a fish is to prepare the surface. Fill in 

 any pinholes with plaster or a thick putty-like mixture of ordinary radiator 

 silver paste. If plaster is used, go over the fish with sisal to smooth out 



any irregularities. 



Fig. 103. Place the mount on a stand of convenient height for painting.
