How did you do it if you don't mind sharing? Boiled or bugs?

I boil.

Did you use the 40 vol whitener bit on this. I did my bear skull but feel like I could have left I on there a while longer .

 

[Stay Sharp]

Nice work.

Yes I use 40 vol. I like 2 treatments with it and put it under a heat lamp.

Nice skull! Here is what I do with skulls. Boil in a pot at a rolling boil/simmer, for 40 minutes or so, with washing soda in the water. After boiling, hit it with a pressure washer to blow off the meat. Then, soak in peroxide for a day or two. Turns out great.

That looks great.
I’d like to ask about the “whitener” you mention. Hopefully it’s available in Oz.

Couple different kinds out there...

Ripper thanks for that.
I’m going to get some looks when I ask for that stuff - no hair on the head here.

I thought I would get some questionable looks when I bought some but the sales lady said guys come in all the time to buy it for skulls, haha.

Do you paint the stuff on the skulls once boiled ??

You can, and then let it dry and rinse off. I would just simmer the skull in the peroxide for 20 minutes or so. Seems to work good.

There are some good discussions on euro mounts on the forum. You can do it a lot of different ways, a lot of them will get you good results.

Thought I’d do a quick post as this method works so well for cleaning a skull. 48 hours 155 for first 24 hours and then 145 for the last 24 hours. 4 scoops of oxiclean. Power-washed and drying, no picking required. After whitening with 50vol developer creme After sealing with...

Sous Vide Deer European Mounts

Hey guys, I'm working on my first attempt at a doing my own Euro mounts. After being quoted $400 to do a cow elk skull and a mule deer skull I figured it was time to learn. I saw a few threads posted in regards to this kind of thing but figured I'd get my own going so folks can follow along if...

Euro techniques

We just got home to Virginia from our second rifle in colorado hunt. I am planning to do my own euro mount for my elk. I don’t see spending $250-300 after I had to remove brain and tissue before going to taxidermist due to fed regulations. I was going to do the typical boil and pick as we do for...

That skull came out really good. I've had problems in past overdoing the boil and losing some of the nose cartilage. It took me a few tries to get the timing right and to not overdo it.

White white isn't my thing I prefer the old ivory look with some tan and yellow aging so I don't overdo the peroxide either.

The trick is not to boil,just simmer.My first few Javelinas I had to find and replace all the teeth.
Also had some cracking on the skulls.A steady simmer will prevent both. 〽
