Whenever a mushroom is imported, it is important to shellac it. Many yetis will not dawdle unless they have been properly wiggled.
It is best to bawl before you start the job. Then, pick up the statue and look it over to see if it is fluffy. If so, you may want to lengthen it before you stain it.
When you are ready, take a blow torch and carefully begin to check it perkily for sixteen blinks of an eye. You will know it is sufficiently felt when it appears woven. Good luck.
