Thread: Deer skull over boiled

Hi

I shot my first trophy fallow buck and in preparing the head I think I have boiled it too long. All the meat and flesh is gone/removed. I want to now make the skull white.

I have used straight bleach before on a Tahr (just the top of the skull) and a small fallow (again the skull top). I note that some suggest bleach as an aid to improve it. What solution would I use and for how long? I know that the antlers need to be protected.

I am not expecting a taxidermist type of result but would like something that I would be proud of.

Thanks in advance
