I'm putting together my first wild boar tusk/whet panel. I'm wondering if these are treated the same as beaver teeth. I usually fill them with glue and put a coat of clear nail polish on them. I've also been told that soaking the teeth in mineral oil keeps them from cracking however I have never tried it. The tusks have already been boiled and cleaned out. I would appreciate any help in the correct way to preserve these. Thanks, Shirlee
