How to make a European skull mount
JW_Halverson:
When I went in and fumbled around asking for it, the saleswoman grabbed the necessary stuff and handed it to me saying, "This is what you need to bleach the skulls, be sure to keep it off the horn or you will have to re-touch them with brown stains."
Apparently she had been down that road once or twice before!

Great build along. I seal my skulls with a mix of elmers and water. I have a had skulls yellow over time when using a clear coat. I never used peroxide though so maybe that was it??

JW_Halverson:
Fats in the bone are what cause the yellowing for the most part. The old school technique was to soak the skull in white gas to draw out all the fats and oils.

How do you degrease? I know there are a lot of different methods.
Also, I got a cow elk skull that I am working on. My brother-in-law gave me his turkey fryer. I was really glad, that elk skull was too long to fit in any of my pots.
