Thread: bleaching / whitening a skull

Where’s the fun in giving it to a professional?
Make a meal of it yourself! Much more funner

....are you even in the right thread @MSL or just bloody cryptic....

I going to get a taxidermist to finish it off for me. Am over DIY and hours of watching a fucken pot steaming and I shouldn't be allowed near chemicals.

Oh now I get the meal reference...don't worry I have...you wouldn't be disappointed. Stripped the skin off a finger trying to get my waterblaster to turn over and it wouldn't.

Was looking at A-Tec suppressors from Stager and right across the road there is a taxidermist. Rang him and asked turnaround time... he said fast as no Americans and no hunting. $190 to get it bleached and put on my shield (kindly gifted by a forum member)... and I was going to spend $50-60 on a tub of peroxide from Farmlands anyway.

Doing my bit to help out the economy is how I will console myself with yet another failure in practical skills.

Stripped the skin off your finger trying to start the water blaster.... one or two pulls?

I'm pretty sure I hit double digits and pushed through the pain for at least 3 further attempts. Should scar up good.

Shit mate, I hope you’re ok, need a care package?

I’ve tried boiling and burying and found it just makes a huge mess or more work for me.

I head skin, pop the eyes, and remove the jaw. Leave it exposed for a day for the flies, then wrap it in a black rubbish bag and tape it up. The maggots do the work. Hose it off and brush a slurry of toothpaste and napi san on. Dries out nice and white.
