Thread: red stag head discolouration

Hi everyone

So I recently got my first stag head and wanted to mount it, did the usual boil/water-blast from a mates recommendation (way more experience than me), this came up all good. however he had had an issue with his last skull turning purple when he bleached it with peroxide, he thought it was some dye from the cloth he used and that it would be all good if I did it at full strength for only 20-30mins then using baking soda to stop the reaction. I did this at it still has purple runny patches on it which came up about 24hours afterwards. its not catastrophic but was wondering if there was anyway to bleach it true white or if it will just have a bit of character to it
