goat horn removal

Submitted by cam on 05/06/2003. ( ) 24.67.253.204

Hey. I just boiled my goat horns and removed the cores, boiled and peroxide the cores and put borax in the horn shell. Is there anything else I have to do? How long do I have to let them dry before I can reattach them? If you have any other good advice that would be great. Thanks Cam

Horns

If you boiled off the horns, what you did so far is good. After letting them dry a half day or so slide the horns back on the cores to dry together. The horns can shrink some after boiling and not fit back on if left to dry apart. After a week or two remove the horns, clean out excess borax and epoxy them back together. Paul


a big thanks
