Maintenence on mounted deer

I know it proabably has been discussed before but what do you use to maintain mounts? I have heard Liquid Gold, is this true before I end up doing damage. The oldest mount was done in 1978.

I tell my customers to use preventive maintenance...feather dusting it often, NO treatments or anything on the hair or antlers. Thats my opinion. Alex mentioned a good product, which he will tell you is best after the mount already is cruddy. Its a shame for mounts to get neglected as they dont always respond to treatment. I hope yours are in decent shape still. Good luck.

Yes, they are in good shape wife dusts them regularly. Thanks for the info, I will get some of that product.

Ill tell you what...after you treat them with that product, come on back and give us your HONEST assessment of the mounts.

Will do.

Well, the product arrived today and I used it. Wasn't overly impressed and it stinks like all get out. But in all fairness it says to wait a couple days and fluff it out. Now how do you fluff a deer mount[&:]. We will see.

IBLOW COMPRESSED AIR BUT NEVER BLOW AGAINST THE HAIR, THEN i BRUSH IT DOWN WITH A SOFT COPER WIRE
