I checked the archives before submitting this. I have a white fallow deer cape that I am mounting that has alot of blood stains. I ordered some blood x from research mannikans and that did not work. I have tried dawn soap and some other detergents with no results. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next. I had to put the cape in the auto tanner because I was afraid of it starting to slip.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Basic White in the archives. Follow directions in the posts you find, it will take care of your blood stains
Nothing's stronger than Epo-Grip Bloodout/Degreaser on removing blood and blood stains, but with deer hair being hollow, I'm sure the blood has moved by osmosis into the core of the hair itself. This is next to impossible to remove and bleaching a hide is very harsh, but may be your only alternative.

I've done this on many polar bears, the worst was a dall sheep life-size and the entire body was very badly stained and salt dried and at some taxidermist for 5 years. Then taken to me ,bleached mount and a happy client.
Thanks for all your help. I will try these suggestions and see what happens. Thanks again
spray a little mean green on it and let it sit for 5 minutes then scrub it off.
