How to make a European skull mount
JW_Halverson:
You can use the patented JW"s Nasal Blaster Maneouver! That's when you sneak down to the carwash late at night after a nice boiling time....tip the head upside down and use the wand to blast it out! It also works a charm to get rid of lots of little nubbly bits that stick to the back of the skull!
Well done, Adam. Both on the mount, and on bringing home a very fine looking buck!
Adam:
Thanks JW, it was my first deer and I'm glad I was able to do this to honor its memory. Does the JWNBM damage any of the delicate bones in there? I used my garden hose, but was nervous about a pressure washer. I know they won't be visible when it's hanging on the wall, but I wanted to leave it as intact as I can.
JW_Halverson:
If you are careful, you can leave all the tissue thin turbinates within the nose.
This one was your first? Niiiiiice!

I'll keep updating this thread as I figure out better ways to do things. This year I found a way to keep the peroxide warm so that it works better. I bought a cheap aquarium heater and put it in a tub of water. I put a plastic case in the bottom of the tub to set my peroxide bath on. The important thing is to have the water levels just right. You don't want the peroxide bath to float around. The heater keeps the water in the tub warm which keeps the peroxide warm. So far it is working nicely. Even in my cold shop the water stays warm. The heater is on the back side of the tub in the pictures.
