Euro Mount Questions

Submitted by Lee D. on 2/27/05 at 9:20 AM. ( Blackmageshadow@hotmail.com ) 165.121.81.205

I'd like to know how would I attach the clean, well-preserved skull to a wooden panel that will hang on a wall?
Would I sude screws and bolts? or Bondo? Or a bit of JB Weld Epoxy? One of my friends suggested that I use a fan bolt and have the head (of the bolt) expand into the brain cavity of the skull.
Lemme know what you think!
I'm trying to find the best way so a heavy bear skull (and a few smaller skulls) can be mounted without a worry of falling.
Thanks!

Click the orange SEARCH icon in the left margin and type in "securing European mounts". There are tons of options already listed there for you to choose from.


depends on you

I recently did my first euro mount, and used a two part epoxy to attach to wall/pedestal stand I made in the garge. mount turned out fine. I did not like the way the bolt would look, so the epoxy did the trick. customer liked it and it was more pain free than I thougt. just make sure and let it cure for 24 hours or more prior to hanging on wall.

lemme know how it turns out.
