Title: Inherited mounts
Post by: passing-thru on February 22, 2016, 04:37:49 PM

I recently inherited several vintage mounts. Was wondering best way to clean them up. Been hanging in same house for 40 yrs on couple. Just want to clean, not looking to restore to show quality. Thanks

I would take them to a taxidermist. Most of them should be able to do a thorough cleaning and it should not cost much.

Wonder bread the birds. Actually Im not sure the make it but used to bee that wonder bread was killer at getting the dust off birds and making them look like brand new.

Use a feather duster to clean them up.  Or duster of sorts.  You can clean the ducks up with makeup brush.  One the wife uses for blush.  It will get the feathers laying correctly and knock the dust off as well.
