Thanks for the compliments. However, I'm having a problem with the soft rubber legs and feet. They keep falling off!
Here's the background info:
I drilled a hole into the duck body and it is slightly smaller in diameter than the top of the leg. I purposefully avoided coating the inside of the hole with Devcon. I did not put oil of any kind on the soft rubber parts. My mold is made of baked water putty and coated with Devcon diluted with alcohol. I didn't oil the mold.
I tried a super glue. One leg stayed on, the other fell off.
I tried Devcon two-part 5 minute epoxy. Both legs fell off, early squirted out of the holes.
What works to hold soft rubber to unpainted, uncoated wood?
BTW: Once I find out how to firmly attach the legs, I'll be making these little ducklings in other colors. I'll put a couple on eBay to try to establish a fair price and then put them on my website. So if you want one, please hang on a little while longer.
