Re: Fragging Toadstools

I've never done it myself, but I've seen how other people do it. They cut a ring off around the edge of it (the outermost portion), cut that into smaller chunks, then use a piece of thread to secure the frag to a piece of rock.

Re: Fragging Toadstools

Re: Fragging Toadstools

Most leathers will attach if you keep them in contact with the rock you want them on. Some use thread as biff described - I have used a rubber band with good success. You just have to make sure if you are "tieing" it to a rock not to get the thread or rubberband too tight. If you do, it will just cut through the flesh of the leather in a few days or a week.

Cut the ones that you don't want as close to the base as you can. Pretty much shave it off. Then attach with a tread. If you have light on the area where you shaved it off it will start growing again.
