PEG
Volume stabilisation of bird legs.
40 g water
60 g PEG 3000
3 g Formaldehyde 36%
The PEG is dissolved in warm water (60-80°C) and then the formaldehyde is added. The solution is drawn up with a syringeof 1ml and warmed up in a water bath (60-80°C). With a cannula (16 x 0.5 mm, orange shaft) the solution is injected from the ends of the toes. It is advantageous to leave the cannulae inserted and close them with sealing caps. This makes it possible to re-inject during the drying process and prevents the PEG solution from leaking. If you do not want to leave the cannulas inserted, massage the puncture site immediately after pulling out the cannula so that the puncture site closes. If the taxidermy mount is already mounted on definitive pedestals, it is advisable to mount plastic foil under the feet, as the PEG can leave stains on pedestal surfaces.
