Rehydrating Antlers?

<< < (2/2)

El Destructo:
There really is no way to re-hydrate a Rack....About the only thing that You can do with these Antlers is to Steel Wool all of the Chalky Surface Damage off...and then buy you so APOXY SCULPT...make sure that You get the Natural Color...not the white or gray...mix it up per directions...and work this into the Cracks with  your finger...push it in good...and before it sets...wet your finger with Spit...and rub it smooth...let it set up...sand lightly again with Steel Wool...and then you can color the whole rack to match ...I have used Walnut Stain with great results...but buy a good Gel Stain...it doesn't soak in as deep...otherwise you will be putting on multiple coats ...feather the Stain out towards the white Tips...so you keep that Ivory look to the Tips.....hope this helps

boo:
Not sure how far gone your horn is, but ive had good luck with shoe wax, or take and rub it down with a dye of your choice and then rub it down with bees wax. after either way, i take a heat gun and melt the wax so the horn soaks it up. Repeat four or five times and then buff it. I like the way the horn looks for knife handles.
