DIY Antler Tine Repair using "KwikWood" - common mistakes & helpful tips 

FOLLOW-UP NOTES: So sorry about the low volume... the volume of the ads will be rather loud! The wire I used could have been about an inch longer, but I didn't notice it until it was glued in. You will be much better off though if the wire is too short v.s. too long. You don't want it sticking through the epoxy at the tip of the tine. It's really tough to cover it up if it's sticking out. Also, it's always a good idea to look your work over outside in natural light once you think you are done coloring it. I finished this video before I concluded that my rebuilt tine was still a bit too dark, especially on the outer side at the base. I ended up scuffing it a little more later on to lighten it up so the shade of the new tine matched better with the rest of the rack. Not sure it it was a bad visual angle for me, unnatural light, camera distraction, or all things combined.... I just didn't catch these things at the time but the video shows them well. Remember to keep your fingers wet when mixing and sculpting. Best of luck to you with your go at it!!

That's got to be the best antler repair I've ever seen. Thanks...

Searched RU-vid for a good video on this subject. What a pleasant surprise to see that it was made right here in NW Wisconsin. I think this is the best video I’ve seen on antler repair.

This is very informative- for a guy that just accidentally baked the end of a rack I’ll be using some of these finishing techniques to undo my stupid mistake!

very nice content sir! thanks for sharing :)

Amazing real artist

Wow heck of a job 😁 I'm a new subscriber

excellent

Well done

Excellent video. What did u use to anchor the skull to your work bench?

Tried this method and the Kwik wood set up almost instantaneously. Tried another stick and was gun shy about mixing due to first batch. This left the second batch lumpy and inconsistent. Difficult to mold. Any tips or thoughts on why it set up so quick? Was in a basement. Consistent temp of 62F.

No sound

This woeful be a RELLY GOOD video IF the sound was up so we could HEAR IT ...thanks ...

Your sound is way too low
