Now that deer season is over, i am thinking about other endeavors. I have a elk shed from my week of drinking tag soup in NM. Its a little chewed up but i plan to rehab it to restore its former glory. My plan is to use apoxy to reform the lost parts and stain with potassium permanganate.
I had a could of questions for those who have done this before.
1. Do i need to use something to form a scaffold to mould the apoxy on? I saw a youtube video and the guy cut a wire hanger and used that. I am a first time DIYer so want to keep things simple.
2. There are some cracks on the surface of the shed. Is there a way to smooth them out so it matches the apoxy work once complete
3. Lastly, any thoughts on how many point this shed had originally. My guide when i picked it up, thought it had 3 points, but the way the bone is warped in the middle, i think i can probably put another point there and make it look natural
