Cyclone gave some great advise... though I'm not totally convinced of the bugproofing question. The only way to totally bugproof a mount is to stick it under glass and keep it there.

I've always felt that a good tan (NOT dry preserve) would be enough AS LONG AS the customer takes care of their mount ... that is, they keep it in a controlled climate (like the main living area of your house) and keep it dusted, then it would be fine for years. If the mount is thrown into an attic, garage, shed, etc., it's only a matter of time before the bugs & moths get it (bugproofed or not). I think Protex is a good product, but it's not a miracle worker either.
