Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to seal in antler color to prevent fading. Thanks,
BEN

Avoid ultra violet light (sunlight etc) and the elements and they shoudln't fade. A finished mount on a wall out of the light should stay well coloured on it's own.
Though I see many here like some polyurethane to "seal" the antlers, I can tell you that, long term, it's going to be like putting windshield wipers on a cat's ass. It SHOWS. Use linseed oil/turpentine or a good furniture polish periodically and allow the antlers to absorb it. That will replace the moisture that's evaporating from your antlers.
what do I have to do to clean up antlers for mounting
