Velvet Field Care/Preservation?

[JoeVon]

Bucklucky, can you show us some of the professional velvet work that you've done?

Here you go BuckLucky, I can copy and paste from taxidermy.net too!!! Just like this forum everyone has an opinion.

http://www.taxidermy.net/forum/index.php/topic,47949.0.html

Have you guys ever heard of painting Turpentine on Velvet Antlers to preserve the Velvet? I just did this the other day....after a Recomendation from a friend, Damned if it didn't work! The velvet dried up nice, No rot, No smell, Now the guy who told me about it, Had done a pair of Antlers and ended up stripping the velvet, He said there was no blood at all under the Velvet where he had treated with Turpentine, and the Velvet was a bitch to get off...it had really stuck. Just curious how long this method has been around? and since it works so well why do we go through all this trouble of buying crap to inject?

Like I said before leave the stupidity to yourself and let the experts handle this.  I think you completely missed what I was saying, now the feathers are ruffled. That is a dangerous way of doing something so simple and if you like giving dangerous and hazardous info to pass around to others that I think you are a real Dipstick. Like I said before, you are a Taxidermist? No, so why are you arguing with a professional. Pull your head out of your ars buddy!  DAMN I hate stupid ignorant people.

My My My, Such language coming from a professional Obviously you  call yourself a professional but you are certainly seem to be lacking in professionalism if the best you can do is call people names. For something that you admitted that you have not heard before until this thread you are very opinionated. I just pointed out that there seem to be other "professionals" on taxidermy.net that have actually tried it and it works for them. It seems like the persons that have not tried it are the ones that have a negative opinion of it. Sometimes "old school" is still as good as the "state of art" methods as you admitted to on a post on this thread just after you made condescending remarks on "Old School". You also keep responding that it is unsafe to use turpentine, well so is filling your car with gas. I realize that you probably depend on these forums for a customer base so I will not spend any more of the forums time debating this issue with you since you seem to "rant" more than carry on a discussion over a simple disagreement. I also apologize to members of this forum for hijacking this thread into a "discussion" with BuckLucky.

Dude, I have  read through alot of the turpentine discutions on taxidermy.net and most outcomes are pretty negative. With that said, I apologize for name calling but you just down right ruffled my feathers.   

 Now if anyone wants to use Turpentine go for it, you can use this info that has been posted to make your decision.

   Oh by the way I meant profesional as having the knowledge of being a taxidermist versus a unknown non taxidermist that knows more than the Taxidemist(YOU)  I love people like you that think they know more about a subject than the person that lives and breathes it on a regular basis. Come on dude, Im just a dang redneck    Now I am just playing around! Have a good one, its fun to debate sometimes.

Again, Bucklucky lets see some of your velvet work.

Here is the only velvet picture I got, never took many pictures till I got a digital a year ago.

[tlbradford]

I need that to walk in front of me this coming month.

[bucklucky]

There wasnt much for preserving on this one, he had already started to peal and rub. When they are in this stage its almost a toss up on wether to rehydrate and take a chance on it falling off . Maybee the turpentine method would work well on this  . They had let the velvet dry before  I got them.  

[bucklucky]

Thats what I will be lookin for!

[bowsandhose]

[JoeVon]
