Thread: Deer skull clean???....help

We will need a foto of the finished product, of course

I done mine over the weekend, it had 5 days of rotting then slow rolling boil for a hour, cut of as much as you can then water blast. Repeated boiling and blasting. Came out pretty good.
Unsure best way to bleach it yet, heard everything from janola to toothpaste.
Its pretty white as it is anyway.
Will post pic when mounted to its yet to be made shield.

Euro mount? Get the saw out and take the cap of. Leave outside for a month or so and done.

@Scousers trophy head......looking good mate

Big thanks Dundee, first go at it, thanks again for all the help from the forum members.......LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!

Good work Scouser! I can't wait to do one of these When I whitened my goat skull I used hydrogen peroxide I think, picked up a couple small bottles from the pharmacy. Did the trick for me

Very nice...love the timber!

hi there I found that I boild my heads in a pot with a little washing powder to give it a clean smell for about 45 mins on a rolling boil then used a water blaster to blow the brain out and also removes all meat with ezzs then I leave it in a bucket of bleach for the night and shes a minta

Cheers Dale, put mine in water/bleach for a night, its really white now!!!!!!!

Talking to a man that has done a lot of skulls, he reckons mix peroxide and baking soda until toothpaste consistency brush on and leave for 24hrs , clean off and repeat if necessary.
Will try this week

I've tried the above as well as bleach and washing powder as well as just about everything else

The best no fail way to get a perfect sparkling white skull is to firstly remove as much of the fat and grease as possible before even trying to whiten it. Boil and scrape the fat that escapes from the skull sutures and then degrease the skull with a rag with a very small amount of white spirits or something.

Once bone dry and fat free, soak cotton balls in pure peroxide and stick them all over the skull until it is covered with them. Leave them on for a half a day or so keeping them moist with peroxide as they dry out. Then put the whole skull outside in direct sun and in a few hours should be perfect.

I boil in an electric dog tucker cooker for a few hours, then water blast. =do not have to bleach (if you do the procedure while the head is still fresh)

I did my sika and it was the best one of done using all meathods i've tried. First skin the skull Then stick in a plastic bag for two to three weeks outside, and let the maggots do the work. Then I waterblastered it clean (don't spray the antler obviously). I then boiled it for fifteen minutes in water (you can make the boned brittle if you over boil it). then I soaked it over night in a water and janola sullution about three caps of janola. It came out perfect and white (dont get janola on the antlers). a photo is attached not that good a light but you'll get the idea
