Yes, we do offer in-store pick-ups, but by appointment only.

Text or emails often do not reach me in real time, so you have to call.

Hazards of Using Bondo. According to manufacturer Safety Data Sheets (SDS), the primary dangers include: V***r Inhalation: Styrene fumes can cause central nervous system depression, leading to headache, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Dust Inhalation: Sanding cured Bondo releases microscopic dust particles that irritate the lungs and can lead to long-term respiratory problems like pneumoconiosis. Flammability: Liquid Bondo and its vapors are highly flammable and can ignite easily near open flames, sparks, or heat. Organ damage: Chronic overexposure to styrene can cause damage to the liver, respiratory system, and sensory organs (specifically hearing loss).Carcinogenicity: Styrene is classified as a suspected human carcinogen. Skin and Eye Irritation: Direct contact can cause severe eye irritation, skin redness, and chemical burns.

What Does "Becoming Sensitized" Mean?Becoming sensitized means your body has developed a permanent allergic hypersensitivity to a specific chemical after repeated exposure. It is an immune system response rather than standard localized irritation.The First Exposures: You might use Bondo for months or years with absolutely no reaction, or perhaps just a mild skin itch.The "Tipping Point": Your immune system silently flags the chemical (like styrene or the hardener) as a dangerous foreign invader and builds antibodies against it.The Chronicity: Once this internal switch flips, you are sensitized for life.Subsequent Reactions: Even minute, trace amounts of the chemical—well below safety thresholds—will trigger a sudden, severe allergic reaction.Types of SensitizationSkin Sensitization (Allergic Contact Dermatitis): Causes severe swelling, blistering, itching, and a poison-ivy-like rash anywhere on your body, not just where the chemical touched you.Respiratory Sensitization: Causes occupational asthma. Exposure to the fumes will instantly trigger coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and severe shortness of breath.

FALLOW Ears. (Prototypes illustrated)
Here is the Fallow Buck new ears forward with new ear butt. Note the ear butts can stand alone and be made in flexible give bondo ears extra protection for those guys that do things on the cheap and still want instant symmetrical earbutts that can be attached to the form. ALTERNATIVELY, we can print all as one or as parts. All as flex or mixture of materials. With or without viens and with or without inner ear detail if you don't want to remove the ear bulb cartilage. Or you can buy as a reference only product. If there is interest I can develop into a form last with pattern for guys that wish to make own fabric liners while its still available and they have stock. What style do you prefer? Post your preferancebto recieve a free pair in your next order.

Wall pedestal Presentations of two previous featured mannikins. I like the to show all aspects of the mane. That which goes around the top of the shoulders not just the neck. Working particularly well for this late season or Spring bull pictured here when the necks are small and hair bleached out.
