Default where to buy horn stain?




I'm mounting a rack for my father that he left outside and the horns got bleached white. I've heard that you can stain the horns back to their dark nature. Any help would be great.

Used a minwax stain/gel last night in Plantation Walnut. The anters look like they did day one. Thanks for the advice.

I have also used Minwax pecan stain. Not as dark as the walnut.

I recently used 'Brush-on, Wipe-off' antler paint from VanDykes with good results.
