Euro Mounts and Taxidermy Upkeep

[Martin77]

Quick question…what does everyone use to keep their Euro Mounts looking nice. I’ve heard WD[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] for the horns but before I do anything I would like to hear everyone’s ideas on here first. Thank you

I wipe the dust.

I have one euro mount from red deer (stag), dated 1968, which I inherited from grandfather.
That one had yellowish color of bone from ageing.
I removed it from the plaque, and applied peroxide 30% (standard chemical for scull whitening).
On application of chemical I heard the sound like the bone was cracking.
The scull did not crack, but the yellowish color was not removed either.
I aborted the attempt, and put it back on plaque, and back on the wall.
Since then, I just wipe the dust.

Johnsons Paste Wax is what we use on antlers and horns. Unfortunately, they stopped making the stuff. Minwax still makes paste wax. Haven't tried it yet.
