Description

Upper and lower jaws of a jaguar are cast in durable urethane resin. Jaw measurements: width = 3 7/8″ =(as measured across the rear molar teeth at the widest point), length = 4 1/2″ (as measured from the incisors to the last molar tooth). Overall measurements are 4 1/2″ wide X 5 1/4″ long. Only the upper jaw (palate) measurements are given. The mold was taken directly from a real skull (a large male leopard), and is detailed down to the pores and texture of the bone. It also includes a portion of the jaw bone. Please note – the cast has been filled with yellow urethane foam for added stability; this can easily be trimmed and shaped as desired. It also readily accepts hot glue. These casts are also paintable – however you will need to lightly scuff the surface with a steel wool or scouring pad in order to get good paint adhesion. I got good results with scuffing, wiping with denatured alcohol and then priming with the spray can automotive-type primer available in stores. Then it can be painted with virtually any type of paint.
