Thread: bleaching / whitening a skull

An update to previous.

The peroxide developer arrived via courier today, I'm home after nightshift so an ideal time to finish this skull.



I have not used this brand before so its a bit of an unknown - It came in a box ideal to apply the peroxide to the skull preventing arguments when the boss arrives home.



I gave it a bath it hot water to remove any remaining grease/fat and I think having it warm opens up the 'pores' of the skull a bit to aid the peroxide penetrating it.( just my opinion and I'm no expert)



Protect the base of antlers from accidental contact, it can happen. I just used tinfoil and glad wrap..would have used tape but have none right now.



I pour some developer into and over the skill and then use a brush to get into all the small spaces. Probably use around 150 - 200mls. What drops off is caught in your container/box and re applied.



If it was a warm day I would place in the sun, today I have just used the hair dryer on warm a few times every so often to help it along and left it in the garage.




Been an hour or so now, will give it a bit more time and see how it looks.
