Peroxide?

[pipe-it]

Hello does anyone know of a taxidermy shop in Kamloops where a guy can get
40%peroxide for doing euromounts ?

[Philcott]

I think most folks go to a beauty salon and get it there.

Others will post first hand info I'm sure.

Go to your hairdresser..

[bc traper]

We have been buying at Sallys up in Aberdeen

[jag]

Got mine at the local hairdresser's, but I think you can also get at a a drug store

[KB90]

You can get 30% peroxide at the co-op

[pnbrock]

the good stuff is at the beauty parlour.

20% - 25% is available at most hydroponics retailers and is way cheaper than the salon stuff. 40% is pretty concentrated. I dilute the 20% stuff for skulls and they come out VERY white.

[Scotty-B]

Yep, Sallys, a sallon supplier in Victoria, as well. She knew what I wanted and what it was for as soon as I said Hydrogen Peroxide. Including a brush, it was around $10. There was plenty enough to do my elk skull from this year.

Yea I need to find a spot in Kelowna!

[twanger]

Agri Supply, Valleyveiw.

Ok thanks i tried a hair salon and they told me they couldnt sell it to me because i did not have a hair dressers licence??!
ill try others metioned thanks for input.

[Boner]

Haha yeah. You tried a salon wholesaler. It's a price protection thing to protect salons and their huge markups. Try Chatters. They for sure will sell to you.

[pronghorn]

You can get 35 percent at health food stores

[pipe-it]

Ok cool thanks again people

[trykillthis]

Agri Supply, Valleyveiw.

That is where I got mine.

[beeker]

there is a sally's beauty supply in dilworth mall by safeway. you do not need to be a hairdresser to buy here either!

Just buy a box of Borax and boil the scull in it.

Try to avoid Borax or bleach.......skull looks good today....but 2-3 years from now it will self destruct.

you don't need the highly concentrated stuff, 20 vol is fine

Agri supply in Kamloops does not carry it anymore. Sunshine gardens has a regular supply of commercial grade peroxide, valley view.

sorry to go slightly off topic but once you find that peroxide, do you simply just soak the skull in it for a few days to get it to turn white?

I run a bead of "hot glue" on the inside of the teeth first then I place the skull in heavy plastic (usually liquor store bags:-D) then in the bottom of an old fridge crisper that I have cut holes down the sides a little for the antlers to fit. I will only soak for 24hrs, then a very good rinse. I let it air dry for a day then do any final removal of cartlidge.

Learn something everyday thanks for the heads up.

I used 25% diluted to probably 12% to completely submerge the skull and it only took 2 hours.

Some learn from others.....some learn the hard way:-D. I guess you can figure out how I learned.

You would frist soak your skull in a good grease cutting dish washing soap <Dawn works great> that pulls any grease-fat that is in the skull then do your peroxide soak

[Jager]

I've never done a whole skull as I usually just do the typical top of skull mounted to a plaque. This year I just used dollar store peroxide. I covered the bone in paper towel then poured on the peroxide. It turned to spitball consistency and I just kept it moist for a day or two until I thought it was white enough.

[BlacktailStalker]

Watch your doses, straight bleach or peroxide will make it go yellow over time, it also lessens the skull density, making it appear almost opaque and much more brittle.

[just hunt]

And don't goin to a store and buy more than a couple bottles at a time. brother in laws horse got a cut on its leg so he went to grocery story picked up half dozen bottles went home. hour later cops show up accuse him of making pot oil.
just saying

[jikjak]

thanks for the tips. the skull is already cleaned out and i believe it has been bleached. i just want to try and get it to be more white, like in the pic on page 2.

[pipe-it]

[bcfarmer]

ouch!! I get mine brought in from Growers Supply.........260.00 for 60 liters 35%....use it in my hot tub so it is worth while to have around.
