Business Description
A taxidermist mounts fish.
Modern day taxidermists use the skin of the fish to create a life like "clone" of the fish after is has passed on. Skins are cured then tanned in various solutions/chemicals in order to preserve them. After the tanning process the skin is mounted on a form or body that resembles the shape of the fish original body or muscle tissue. These days a form of urethane foam or a similar material is used. Glass eyes are inserted during this process and finishing touches are added with airbrushes and various paints to complete the mount and re-create a life like looking bird, mammal or fish.
A fairly new process of taxidermy involves only making fiberglass reproductions, mainly of fish. In this case the taxidermist has to ensure that the initial mold is as accurate as possible, so that the cast, once painted and completed resembles the actual fish.
