I'm working on a skull mount for a deer I killed a couple weeks ago. I just took it out of the maggot pile and they got most of the meat off. I plan to boil it today to get the remaining remnants off.

What do y'all use for the bleaching process? Besides the kits from Cabelas. I've heard peroxide but I'd like this one to be very white.

I use v40 (12%) hydrogen peroxide mixed with white bleach powder. You can get both at Sally Beauty. It works great and won't yellow.

Put some regular dawn dishwashing soap in when you boil it and then scrub it really good with it. This is the degreasing process and it will help keep it from turning yellow over time. To whiten get some peroxide 40 volume from sally's and cover it really good and put it in the sun for a day or two.

definitely sally's 40 creme or liquid. i actually use both.

let yours simmer for a few tomorrow. not boil. spray w hose.

put in disposable tray & wrap horns (can't be too careful) pour liquid carefully everywhere. then apply paste. occasionally i will soak paper towels in bottom of pan in excess liquids and wrap entire skull.

leave overnight. reapply next day if necessary.

good luck and let us know how it turns out. sorry about the poor lighting
