Michelle can you please explain how you touch up the antlers after the color is altered from maceration. Thank you.

It's not really something I can describe.  each rack is different.  I use several things.  Laquer paint, oil paint, minwax floor stain, and a clear sealer.

Two questions:

1.  Why do you take off the bottom Jaw of the deer and elk?
2.  When doing bear or feline... can you do the whole skull including bottom jaw?  Or will they come apart in the bath?

Thanks

Johnny

1.  Because Euros on antlered or horned game typically never has a bottom jaw on the finished mount.  Just as easy to pull it off.

2.  Bears, Cougar, Bobcat, Coyote, etc I always do with the bottom jaw.  I usually still separate them from the skull.  More of a personal preference.  Teeth will fall out and most of the time the bottom jaw will seperate in the middle.  No big deal.  Re attach and put teeth back in with glue.

How long do you leave volume 40 peroxide and basic white paste on the skull?

First round, 24 hours.  Rinse and let set in hot water for a good 15 minutes.  Pull out and let dry.  If not whute enough you can reapply and let set for 12 hours.  I would probably not to this more than 3 times.  First round 24 hours, if needed the second and third round 12 hours.

ok thank you!
