Jazz Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Not sure how this is going to turn out.. Wife wants a euro with velvet- is that possible? Heads been in the freezer since day 1. I’m reading that if the fluid isn’t applied in a day or two there’s no chance. Can a taxi do something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted September 13, 2019 I'm pretty sure a taxidermist can strip it and put the fake velvet on which will last longer if I recall correctly. Freeze drying is the best way to preserve the real thing if that is still possible. I have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcdinaz Report post Posted September 14, 2019 😂 It looks just as weird from the back, has 15 points some stick straight out the back. I had to get a mount that held it far enough from the wall to hang it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHOOTER Report post Posted September 15, 2019 If your velvet made it in the freezer in a reasonable time it will be fine. It's up to the taxidermist on how they want to treat it. Some freeze dry it some inject ect. I think freeze dried looks the best. The less the velvet gets touched and messed with the better it looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
