| | Re: Eagle Bust I have a question Hugh...why the baking soda? I have used crazy glue to stiffen and harden weak areas before but haven't used baking soda in it, how does that help? thanks |

| | Re: Eagle Bust Very lifelike. Great job!
I'm curious about the baking soda as well. Mix them together before applying? Rub it in before the glue sets?
Enquiring minds want to know!  |

| | Re: Eagle Bust Baking soda is used to build up the end. I put on the super glue, then dip it in baking soda. I built a tip on the bill doing this, and then sanded it to shape. Also it accepts carving or grinding much better than other materiels.
