How to Finish a European Mount?
« on: December 17, 2007, 08:23:00 AM »
I have a skull from a bear I shot this past fall, and wanted to know; can you spray anything on the skull to help presrve it and look a bit cleaner?  I have heard poly, but don't want it to yellow over time.  I would be thankful for any help on this.  
Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!

Northland I use Krylon acrlic, crystal clear, Satin.It says non-yellowing, but if you spray to much it will look alittle yellow, just spray a lite spray over your skull, and the dust won't stick.   :thumbsup:

Got this from and old friend, and have had great luck with it. Best of all, it's cheap.   :)  

Elmers white glue and water to thin it down...smear it on and let it dry. Looks great and never yellows. Have done it on a dozen or more skulls all with the same result and bottle of glue.   :thumbsup:

I hope I don't get in trouble for posting a link to another site, but this is a good but long process to make a really great skull mount!

I just leave them uncoated.  If they yellow after many years, you could always hit them with peroxide again to lighten them up.
