An easy antler repair!

[MITCHELL4]

Well you sure made that look easy. Thanks. I have seen a few differant threads on here that people were using that potassium permaganate on repairs to broken racks, and I thought most of them turned out looking very nice. I was wondering if a person could use the same process with the seam and repair putty on rack found during shed season that had been chewed on by mice to repair and then apply the finish or if they had been setting to long to get a good color base?

MITCHELLE4,

Yes that would work and one could color the Seam and Repair putty with chalk depending on the base color.  Take a scalpel blade and scrape the powder off the piece of chalk.  Like for example a little brown and a small amount of yellow.  Remember what ever color you mix in it will stay the same color as it cures!  If the antlers are a pretty dark grey try using the Quick Repair Putty by itself.  It cures fast and takes color really well.  Good luck!

Thanks for sharing!

Good job.  I like the color.  I've got a repair job on deck but I don't have a matching shed.  I plan on just using a piece or wire as a guide and building the tine off of that with epoxy sculpt.

I have forgot to mention that whatever Seam and Reapair Putty you have left over one can put in in a Ziploc bag and freeze it.  I do it all the time!  When doing a brow I will bag some up and freeze.  Then when I the brow is setting up I will thaw it out and "ice" the putty onto the brow for added texture.  Saves product!

Take care and keep the hair out of your stitches,
