European mount - DIY - 02/11/17
My first attempt to do a European mount. No beetles, no extensive cooking. Skinned head than soaked in hot water for 1/2 hour. Pressure washed with fan-tip nozzle and used needle nose pliers and dental pick.
Hung up in garage for a couple weeks, then applied a beauty salon 40% solution of hydrogen peroxide. Hung in the garage for about a month until I remembered to either put on the wall as is or put it on a plaque. Noticed it yellowed somewhat so applied Redken Pro-Oxide cream.
In retrospect, I wished I had done this to some racks in the past, rather than cut from skull and mount on plaques.
