    Default Question on my mounts

    I recently remolded our kitchen, ripping all of the old plaster and lathe out and new sheetrocking. Created a lot of dust. My question is, how can I clean my mounts without doing any damage. I have heard horror stories and I don't want to ruin my prize possessions. Thanks for your help in advance.

    They are deer, we covered the doorways with plastics but the dust still got through. I dont know if a vacuum would be a good idea.

    I would take a damp cloth and gently wipe off the dust, just follow the direction of the hair and you will be fine. Dont rub the finished areas with the cloth {nose, around the eyes}. If you need to clean the eyes or the finished areas I would call whoever did the mount{s} and ask for advice .

    I am thinking that compressed air in a can. Should blow all the dust off, shouldn't it?

    I use a pair of my wifes panty hose with hairspray sprayed on it. Works well for me!

    Looks like my work is done here.

    So wiggs, I thought the panty hose would keep the hair down on your legs. Why do you need hair spray too ?
