Thread: removing velvet off antlers?

If you want to stain them back to a darker colour, buy some pertassium permagnate off trademe and mix a teaspoon in a cup of water. Turn antlers upside down an apply a coat with a paint brush. It will start out purple but dry brown when dry. Keep adding coats untill colour is achieved. Sand the tips white. Keep mixture off the skull and wear gloves. Goodluck.
Add some boiled linseed mixed with turps to add shine
Great trophy
