will this work to degrease it and whiten it?

Go to the local walgreens and by peroxcide for 1.25 a bottle. It will bleach in 24hrs. Anyone who says this doesn't work doesn't know what they're talking about. When u dig it up I thik ur gonna have do some cleaning on it before you bleach it out. good luck.

One of the previous posts mentioned Modge-Podge. When I did my first Euro mount a friend suggested it. I had no clue what it was! It's in the craft department at WalMart.

Good luck, and be sure to put up some pics for us!

PS... After you are done with your mount and hang it up, make sure your wife doesn't knock it down and let the nose break off of it... GRRR (didn't hurt so bad since it was HER first buck and not mine hehehe)

it worked really well just the top of the skull, the very bach and the edges of the eye sockets left, any tricks or tips for these parts, so as not to submerge the horns.
