TexasDeerHunter Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Van Dykes antler stain works great, get a lighter color than you want because it tends to be darker than expected. They also have antler wax for use on antlers that are not bleached out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Antler stain and antler wax are just re-labled products you can find at any ACE Hardware. I actually use turtle wax on my antlers from time to to time. Minwax stains will do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambo Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I agree with TexasDeerHunter. I have had great results with Van Dykes antler stain. I use the saddle brown. It is a non penetrating stain so when it drys you can use a fine sand paper to create highlights and lighter areas in spots where the deer would of rubbed his antlers. Start light, it's easy to add more, tough to lighten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
