I was wonderin on the subject of the result of deer horn after the stabilization process?Such as. Will stabilizing prevent cracking and shrinkage and warping? Also will blood stain horn? I am going to get a mule deer horn professionally stabilized that my Dad killed bout 40 years ago the horn is in very good condition. Will the effects of stabilizing it still work well even though the horn is really old?
 
Well, the way I understand it professionally stabilizing something means you put it in a vacuum submerged in liquid resin to draw the air out of any open spaces, then when all air is drawn out you reverse the process and the resin gets sucked into all those little spots, hardening and seriously reinforcing the material. So yeah I think it will definitely toughen it up quite a lot.
