$150 with bugs, degrease and whiten.

It's a messy job but not hard. After boiling in soap, I took the skull to the carwash and power prayed it. I ended up covered in chunks of flesh,(cooked at least). As mentioned above, be gentle with it. They look better with the nose bones in place.

One tip I got was after boiling put a piece of coat hanger wire in a drill and bend the end. Stick that in the hole at the back of the skull and spin what's left of the brain matter out.

I've done a few myself, both simmering and letting rot in Bucket. The later method takes weeks but the results are much better, the fragile Nasal Cavities are left intact, this method requires a strong Stomach.

Wrap antlers if you want to preserve color / moss etc. Pressure washer is your friend but like it has been said be careful around nasal cavity / teeth can go flying. Cover skull in 40vol peroxide soaked paper towel or cheesecloth for that bright white finish. Congrats!!

I have done 2. Time consuming but satisfying. That being said, $150 seems like a great deal considering the time involved. I boiled, picked, scraped, boiled again, pressure washed, boiled and whitened with peroxide.

Use dishwasher tabs and simmer - do not boil! Boiling will loosen teeth and you will need to glue them back in. As in anything, prep work is key. Clean the skull as best you can before you start. Keep the antlers out of the pot ( I use aluminum foil and a roasting pan) and out of your peroxide. Paper towel laid over the head will wick up the peroxide and keep it from bleaching the antlers. The only way to keep the skull white is to paint it as it will yellow (patina) over time. Hard to do? No. Will it take some work? Yes. Use an outdoor burner if possible, otherwise wait until all the ladies have left thd building.

I use clear superglue. Just on the roots, so the glue cant be seen
