I have a skull from a bear I shot this past fall, and wanted to know; can you spray anything on the skull to help presrve it and look a bit cleaner? I have heard poly, but don't want it to yellow over time. I would be thankful for any help on this.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!
Northland I use Krylon acrlic, crystal clear, Satin.It says non-yellowing, but if you spray to much it will look alittle yellow, just spray a lite spray over your skull, and the dust won't stick. :thumbsup:
Got this from and old friend, and have had great luck with it. Best of all, it's cheap. :)
Elmers white glue and water to thin it down...smear it on and let it dry. Looks great and never yellows. Have done it on a dozen or more skulls all with the same result and bottle of glue. :thumbsup:
I hope I don't get in trouble for posting a link to another site, but this is a good but long process to make a really great skull mount!

I just leave them uncoated. If they yellow after many years, you could always hit them with peroxide again to lighten them up.
