Bleaching deer skull

[gbk]

Also wrap tight the area of the antlers,sitting in the water, with rags,so to avoid discoloration.Same-fistfull rag on the nose,so the heat from the bottom of the pot does not disintegrate those nose bones.

I just burry the head in the garden with a drum over the antlers so the critters don't chew on them.
Works great burry now dig up mid June.
No mess no fuss

Oaknut, thank you for your suggestion. The only problem I see in boiling the skull for long time in peroxide is how to protect the antlers. Any suggestion on that?

I just wrap mine in plastic wrap as tight as I can then add some tape for good measure.

It seems that you didn't read the thread from the begging.
This is what the thread is about now: yes, no mess no fuss to bury a skull into the ground but it comes out badly brown and so far I not able to bleach it out with 40 Volume cream.
I would like to ask you to post a picture of the skull from the ground and let us know how did you bleach it.
Thank you.

Oaknut, thanks!
js4fn,
yes, looks pretty good. As I understand, you boil it just in water, not in peroxide, correct?

[js4fn]

Nope water and 1.5 pound oxy clean
Roughly 4 hour hard boil then let it sit on fire in pot over night

Full head intact. Fell right off this morning
