Bear Skull Cleaning - Keeping the teeth as is

I've done lots of whitetails and some beavers using maceration but never a predator. Normal macerate for around 2/3 weeks, then degrease for around 2 weeks. Any thoughts on how much longer a bear takes at each step?

Depends largely on how much meat you leave on when macerating. I’ve seen it take close to a month to be bare bone. Degreasing can vary from bear to bear but usually if done right will take 6-8 months.
 
For degreasing look up Trubond. Lipi solve 77 and 55. Get them both and use a 5 gallon buck with an aquarium heater as previously mentioned. They are the best that I've found besides trike.
