I dont see a problem unless you paid to have the horns stained... But I may be missing something.

Looks like he set too deep in the boil pot or got bleach on it.

It ought to be fixable. $200 seems steep to me but...

I had this done at Rick's Outpost in Aubrey.. The lady I spoke to offered to "fix it at no charge".. I told her this should've been fixed before I was called saying it was ready. Someone should be QA's their work to notice crap like this... I'll never go back.

That stinks....$200 for a euro is rediculous, $125 is about right. I would be mad too, make 'em fix it. Nice buck though

Regardless of the cost, that is not right. I've done my own euro's for years, and i made mistakes in the beginning, and that is no way to do it. you have to prop them up so that the bases do not get in the peroxide. The boil process doesn't matter that much, but when you go to 'bleach' them, I always prop mine in a way the horns do not touch the water. I use a spoon to slowly do the top of the head. Sorry, man.

Time is not wasted if you spend it with the ones you love.
