My First Euro Mounts

Those all look great! I love diy euros. And I love the hooks @7mmremmag sells. I bought 10 of them to remodel my trophy wall.

Got a link to those hooks?

I’m doing three euros tomorrow plus a bobcat skull.
Like Nutterbuster said, 7mmremmag’s euro plaques are bomb. Just got three Texas shaped ones in this week and they look amazing.

I guess I hadn’t seen those hooks. Got a pic?

Nice job. Ive done a couple dozen...easy as pie.
Did you power wash after boiling?

I did use a power washer. Used Dawn dish soap in the boil, then simmered in hair developer 40% to whiten

Power washer is the only way to go. My first few that I did, I was told (by an "expert") to make a hook from a coat hanger to pluck the brains out...horrible advice. Power washer cleans everything out of every nook and cranny.
My personal preference is a natural color, though. I don't peroxide or bleach them.
Dawn is a great additive to the boil. Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda is also really good (great for lots of cleaning and laundry too!).
Congrats on your heads.

I saw a YouTube video on these. I think I may give it a try next time just to see. The DIY sportsman channel I believe.

Go for it, I used something similar for an old 5 point I killed. Don’t much like it. However, it lasts longer and you don’t have to worry about keeping it clean. Just rinse it off.

Looks good! Try the provided cup worth of Oxy Clean laundry booster during the simmer. Often times I don't even have to use the hair peroxide after. The Oxy Clean turns the remaining meat left after skinning into jello and can be removed with a butter knife or plastic scraper. Add the OxyClean slow, it'll foam over if added too fast!

I was about to say, oxyclean was a big breakthrough for me. Whitens without looking artificial like peroxide and really decreases well.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I’m another fan and satisfied customer of @7mmremmag. I love the state shapes especially since I’m about to start traveling with the Navy. Hope to collect antlers and state plaques.
