I shot both these deer in the past month and decided to try my hand at DIY euro mounts. I still need to build a pedestal base, but the skulls themselves are finished. I simmered the skulls with a mix of baking soda and dawn liquid dish soap to degrease and whitened them with salon 40% peroxide and cream whitener. I sealed the skulls with a 50/50 mix of elmers glue and water. I haven;t done anything to the antlers and was wondering if I need to put some sort of matte clear coat on them to keep them from deteriorating. I don't want them to be shiny though. let me know what you think...
