fixing sheds

[highmuley]

I have a box of sheds. Most are in good condition.  But some are not. I want to fix them (chew marks, broken points,  etc.). Is there a compound I can use to do this? Am I better off just taking them to a taxi to repair? Please advise.  Thanks

A lot of people us bondo, and there are some sculpt it products that taxidermists use.

I was thinking about building a mess wire "frame" under it and maybe plaster of Paris over? What do you think?

Too brittle.  Will crack and break.    Use bondo.   Its as cheap as the plaster and has the same consistency as your antler will.  It wont be as good as the stuff taxidermists use, but...

Epoxy sculpt.

Thank you.  I couldn't think of it.  I don't remember it being too expensive

Epoxy sculpt.

Would I still want/need to build a frame under it?

Are you building points or fixing/doing repairs?   

I don't thing so.

Charlie does some good work on antler repair.

Both. Looks like, because of what it's used for,  I may be able to get it at a hobbies or craft srore.

Also, is there a sealant I can use to preserve the bone?
