Question for you guys who have bear skulls out. I'd like to figure a way to attach the lower jaw, but leave it moveable - hinged as close to the normal live hinge as possible. I don't want someone picking it up and the lower jaw falling on the tile floor. Any suggestions?

Also, the standard procedure in Germany was to soak the skull in a highly diluted white wood glue, then wipe off the excess. Seals the pores pretty well.

LE - I haven't experienced that.  In fact folks that I work with take skull collections to schools for kids to look at, handle, and study and they don't seem any worse for wear, unless of course when they get dropped !  But thanks.
