For finishing mouth, nose, and eyelids of mounted mammals, melt a little refined beeswax in a metal vessel. Mix the wax and color thoroughly with a flat bristle brush. Afterward the brush may be easily cleaned of the wax by breaking it up with alcohol, when it has cooled. Next draw some wisps of fine, long-fiber cotton through the melted wax and lay them quickly flat upon oiled paper to cool.
In all bird work, upholstery excelsior or "wood wool" will be found most satisfactory for body making and neck, wing, and leg wrapping. This may be found at almost any upholstery shop, as is also tow, a fine grade of which is needed in making bird necks, as chopped, soft filling, etc. A good grade of long-fiber cotton is needed for wrapping skulls and wing and leg bones in small birds, etc.
