why not do it the easy way?
cut as much fur and meat off as possible then simmer in a pot of water with a few drops of dawn(with bleach alternitive) for an hour or two, Take out and scrape with a knife just dont scratch or nick the bone. Put back in SIMMERING water NOT boiling for an hour or two. By now the skull should be about clean if not use a wire brush or continue scraping. Then place the skull in a bin or rubber tote with HOT water with a few more drops of dawn, and my secret is to add some GOJO grease cleaner you use on your hands. Then get an air hose with a chuck that blows air like you would use to blow stuff off. Put the skull under the hot water and with the chuck stick it into diffrent cavitys on the skull and blow the water and air into them like your boiling it but with air. Be careful of the nasal bones!!! do this few times and change the water then do it a few more! next air dry the skull then coat with cream 40% peroxide and wrap with seran wrap place in sun or next to heat as the beauty shop stuff is heat activeated. keep wrapped for an hour or two wash off then let dry if not white enough coat and wrapp again but the first wrapp will do the trick. All done in a few hours worth of work.
looks great!
everyone has their own way of doing it. The way I do it works for me, and is maintenence free. Just stick it in a bucket and forget about it. I boiled a skull one time and swore I never would do it again
After reading this I just went out and drained the water off of my two racks,I almost got sick it stunk so bad. I did the same thing as Carlos. I skinned mine out best I could,tied them to the base of a tree and let the bugs work on them then about 3 weeks ago put them in a bucket of water.They are about 95% finished,I just hit them with a high pressure hose and put them in a clean bucket of water. Tommorow a bottle of peroxide will get dumped in with them and hopefully in another week,presto.They will no longer stink.
