Hollowing out a jaw bone
WhistlingBadger:
I used my primitive electric drill. Had to do some small guide holes to soften things up, and eventually worked my way up to one almost as big as the tank. Now trying to decide whether to use pitch glue, gorilla glue, or epoxy to hold the whole thing together. Leaning toward gorilla glue, but pitch glue would be more fun if I can figure out how to melt it and get it inside the hole. I'm kind of depending on the glue to hold the teeth in from the inside, too. Maybe if I shoved in a little pitch glue suppository, heated the tang up really good, and put it in to melt the glue??? Maybe.
Pappy:
I usually use the really fine super glue for holding the teeth, I just turn the jaw where the teeth are up and drop a little thin glue on the inside side of the teeth, can't see it and will hold them good. I also just get things lined up and heat the pitch glue and let it drip in the hole around what I am wanting to glue in, if you get a little on the out side it cleans up very easily. Most time I just epoxy it in and finish the out side with pitch glue, kind of cheating but holds really well that way. ;) :)
