My daughter got her first deer earlier this season and she decided she wants a euro mount.

I’ve never had one done before (this is not something I can do at home so we are having someone do it for us).

I was asked if I wanted to seal it with mop and glo. From what I’ve read it will keep it from yellowing and will make it easier to clean in the future.

I’m inclined to go agree and do it. Any reason not to?
 
I have found that across two dozen or so bucks I’ve killed and euro’d, there is a lot of difference in bone density and color.

Turns out the most symmetrical racks with the most mass have the highest bone density and “whitest” look after getting finished.

What does this have to do with your question?

If it’s a scraggly buck and the skull looks thin and discolored after boiling/maceration/cleaning, you may want some sort of sealant.

If it’s a healthy buck with good nutrition and genetics and the bone looks like something you could build machining tools out of, standard peroxide to bleach it, rinse it, hang it.

Removing the brain and eyes before it sitting in water will go a long way towards avoiding discoloration too. Fat=yellow.

I’ve not sealed any of mine.
