Amazing work, DD. Could you simply swap the legs without cutting anything? If you must cut the claws off, then a sharp knife should be adequate for cutting through hot melt glue. Multiple shallow passes should get you through cleanly.View attachment 550040
Got one foot left then I can get to thickening. Picked up a can of spray paint to help the crepe paper go farther.

Only problem is a put the dew claw on the same side. Any suggestions for cutting it off and swapping sides? I have a foam cutter thingy kit to get through the hot glue maybe but not sure if it would ruin it / how to clean it..
