This is accomplished by misting on a light coat, allow it to soak in for ten minutes and wipe with a soft cloth. Professional Taxidermists can also purchase the product wholesale, so they have it as a service to their clients.
Client Use – After semi-annual or annual cleaning with Mount Protector mist on a light coat, allow it to soak in for ten minutes and wipe with a soft cloth. If your taxidermist hasn’t already made an initial application, let the Fade Protector thoroughly dry and apply a second light mist coat. Note: Do not soak the hair or apply a heavy coating and let the product dry as it can make the hair feel course and unnatural.
