[NHCOLL-L:144] repairing a live mount

[Joseph Bopp]

We have a live mount of a passenger pigeon that we want to put in an exhibit.  Unfortunately the skin is "peeling" away from the neck.  What is the safest way to reattach the skin to the "inner body"?  Some one suggested white glue, is that safe to use?  Since this is a extinct species, I want to make sure I use something that won't harm the skin.  Thank you for your help.
