Prepping Antlers
I was just wandering how you taxidermist prep the antlers before going on the form. I know most of the racks already have blood on them to begin with. Is there a type of oil you use over the rack or do you use some type of method to clean it?

RE: Prepping Antlers
any kind of house hold cleaner will remove blood and dirt. my taxidermist gives the a good coat of wd40 before mounting. and the he does the whole mount with taxidermy magic after mounting. this stuff is the best thing i've ever seen to bring life back to old or dingy mounts.
