Eric555 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 One of my reddish brown stags passed about a week ago. At the time, I mounted it and let dry, and now I want to add it to a display I am creating. Problem is that I need to bend the legs so it will look like it's in a natural pose on a "log" (resin wood). Without relaxing the entire beetle, is there something I can simply apply to the legs that will relax them? I tried ammonia as I read somewhere that it would work, but didn't have any effect. Thanks!

markjfisher Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I have had some luck with dropping some warm water directly on the joint in questions and gently stretching it back and forth. Alcohol absorbs quickly as well, but makes the joint more brittle after drying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
