dan chase ez mount preservative??

[hoytguy08]

i'm 15 and kinf of wanting to get into the taxidermy field, last year i did my first mount, a coyote i shot with my bow, and i've been looking at the dan chase taxidermy supply catalog and seen something called ez mount preservative, its a dry preservative and is supposably better than tan for mounts, but i've always heard tanning is better, the dry preservative is also supposed to last for many years(over 50)

so i just wanna get some advice on this because the dry preservative sounds much easier but almost too good to be true(better than tan)

any advice?

Depends on what your mounting. Squirrels and other small game work fine with DP. For deer sized and larger I would tan. There are many who DP deer and make it work, I wont argue that, but you being a beginer, I believe you would have a more positive experince using a tanned cape. Im not going through the pro's and con's of each, visit www.taxidermy.net and type DP vs Tan in the search box. I no longer wish to beat this poor dead horse.

Good luck on whatever you decide. AW

artisticwhitetails You are so mean to that poor boy, HA HA HA. You know how those guys on taxi net get when asked that question. They will go on and on with it for days, LOL.

Best find the little orange surch button and type in that question. Their just going to tell you the same thing on taxi net.

hoytguy08, I have been using Dry Preservative since I started doing taxidermy for almost 4 years. The stuff will work and the mounts can last but you have to do it right. Dry Preserve or "DP" as a lot of taxi's call it. Dry Preserve is a little harder to work with but once you have the system down it is faster than tanning. Their are also pro's and con's to using DP. Such as working time is a lot shorter and re freezing is limited. If you are going to use I DP use "Bess Maid DP" it is the best on the market. If you need contact # I can give it to you just ask. Other than that you can find their web site on taxi net.

Naw, Im just getting him prepared for George. If he goes on taxi.net he'd better have thick skin, may as well try to break him in right here first. Don't let that scare you hoytguy. Visit taxi.net and use those archives, there is a wealth of info there that you can learn from. The best taxidermists in the world have posted their tips and technics there. Read it, study it, read it some more, soak it all in and apply it to your own work. I promise you will be successful if you do.

P.S. , Don't ask about Dan Chase Supply on there if you post. That's another can of worms you don't need to open. Type [A Supply Company] in the search box for a few days interesting reading.
