I'm finished whitening my warthog skull and am ready to attach the halves and mount it on a homemade Skullhooker type mount. I've epoxied deer and hogs in the past but this one is much heavier. What do you guys use? Thanks!
 
I have drilled and recessed screws to hold the lower jaws on warthog, and then filled the screw holes and air brushed a little white over the fill and they are virtually invisible.
 
Jeff's idea works well.

No expert but did my own deer once and I did screws and super glue! Worked like a charm!
 
Where exactly do you put the screws? At the back top of the lower jaw through the ball joint and up into the skull?

Thanks!

Here is one example for a desk display. Used a screw flange welded onto a stainless steel rod. Epoxied a small piece of plywood to the u/s of the upper mouth. Then screwed thru the flange into it. The wood seems to hold well and absorb the odd bump a bit as well.

I like it Caddman! And the Africa cut out looks cool for the base!
 
I mixed up epoxy that I use for bedding actions in stocks (Brownells Accu Glass) Just a touch where the front of the contacts and in the sockets (just a little) apply a little pressure over night and it'll last forever
 
I first rough sand the jaw sockets so glue will hold then I use gorilla epoxy, mix it up and apply to lower jaw sockets and behind the front teeth, tape together for a min of 6 hrs and put on a panel or whatever and your done.
 
i admire you guys,anything i try to do my self i screw up and wind up paying to have it done right.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
