Quick Answer
Store skull mounting equipment in a dry, cool environment, protected from dust and moisture. Use a sturdy storage case or container with dividers to keep items organized. Regularly inspect equipment for wear and tear.
Preparing for Storage
When storing your skull mounting equipment, it’s essential to clean and dry each item thoroughly. This includes the skull, antler, and any metal or wooden components. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any dirt or debris, and then wipe down each item with a dry cloth. Allow the items to air dry completely before storing.
Storage Containers and Organization
Invest in a sturdy storage case or container with dividers to keep your equipment organized and protected. A 12" x 12" x 6" storage case can accommodate most skull mounting equipment, including skulls, antlers, and tools. Label each divider to keep items easy to find. Consider using foam inserts or shock-absorbing materials to cushion delicate items.
Maintenance and Inspection
Regularly inspect your equipment for wear and tear, checking for signs of rust or damage to metal components. Clean and lubricate any moving parts, such as hinges or screws, to ensure smooth operation. Store your equipment in a location with consistent temperatures between 50°F and 70°F (10°C and 21°C) to prevent warping or cracking of wooden components.
