    Re: Repairing Insect Damage

    Some before and after photos would have been useful.

    Re: Repairing Insect Damage

    I didn't think to take any before pictures but will post some of the finished product. Some of the holes were almost big enough to put your pinkie through! The only thing she couldn't help me with was a rust stain from an iron kilt pin, but strategic placement of a regimental style rosette or a large kilt pin should cover that up.
    Some years ago I managed to get a taxidermist to patch up the bald patches left in a full mask otter sporran left by a moth attack. Unfortunately he wasn't able to do anything about my own bald patch.

    That's wonderful and amazing that Veronica was able to repair the moth holes for you!
    Did she tell you how she did it? That's a very valuable skill !
