[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3191010, member: 24452"] I started out just boiling and scraping, and scraping, and scraping, because I didn’t know any better. I got my first shoulder mount done in 1994 and became friends with the taxidermist. He coached me on doing euros. I skin the skull and cut off as much excess meat as I can, and I boil it in sol soda (can be ordered off any taxidermy website). I can’t really say how long to boil, but you don’t want to over cook. Most of the meat and fat will fall off while boiling, but I still have to do a little scraping to clean off anything still hanging on. I use the cheapest peroxide I can find to whiten the skull but am really careful not to get it on the antlers. Mine aren’t as white as most professionally done skulls, because they’re using a stronger peroxide. They look good enough for me though.:anyone: I’ve said this before and want to stress the point again. DO NOT BOIL A SKULL IN YOUR HOUSE.:blush: Here’s a few of my skulls. [/QUOTE]
