Here is another Elk European getting ready to leave the shop. Mounted on an Oak Oval panel. He is a site member. Not sure of the score.

Here are a couple close ups of inside the nose and up inside the sinus area.

Michelle,

3 1/2" and 4" I think. They are 1/4" lags. Threads reinforced with epoxy.

What do you mean?

elkaholic · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2010, 08:45:20 AM »

Thank u!!

I read somewhere that a guy sand the back of the skull to even out prior to attaching. Ill take some pics, I still need to soak in peroxide.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #17 on:** May 02, 2010, 09:11:55 AM »

Why would he have to sand the back of the skull to make it even? They are all pretty even. Not off enough anyone is going to notice.

elkaholic · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2010, 09:54:05 AM »

I agree.

How long do you let sit in the peroxide before pulling out?

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2010, 03:01:08 PM »

Depends on the strength of the Peroxide. Using 27% peroxide I will leave an elk in for 24 hours. Sometimes if they need it I will let them dry and than put them back in for a couple more hours.

elkaholic · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2010, 04:54:43 PM »

Can I just walk into a beaty salon for that?

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #21 on:** May 03, 2010, 08:20:56 PM »

The strongest you are going to find in a beuty salon is going to be 40 Volume Hair Developer @ 12% peroxide. That will work. Just brush it on and wrap the skull in plastic wrap and put it somewhere warm. After 24 hours rinse it off. Not white enough do it again.

Sounds Good. Thank U , ill let you kno wit goes this weekdn!
