The degreasing will take 4 to 6 months with Dawn. One 28 oz bottle Dawn to 3 gal of water ( in a large tidy cat bucket) water must cover entire skull. The water will get NASTY as the grease is drawn out of the bone. I let them sit for 2 months at a time.. and repeat the Dawn mixture till the grease has stopped leaching out. Some BIG skulls take 9 months. This is one inexpensive solution to Acitone . One important factor in degreasing..Patience!!
Well thats no good. I just sent you 14 steps to get the mount done from start to finish and only 3 showed up below.. Send me a message with your email and I'll email it to you. You can do the entire mount in 5 hours.. sorry about that didn't know there was a comment limit.
I've done several mounts and this is what you need to do. This is for a deer mount, works the same for any skull, although pay extra attention to and skull with horns or they will turn white at the base::::
1.After you kill the animal skin it and remove all meat.
2. Place skull into boiling pot and boil the skull for 2 to 4 hours. This will remove the leftover meat, eyes and harden the Brain.
3. Remove the skull and jawbone.. Be careful not to lose the top of the nose on a deer, it will co
I agree with wegskeet1, the skull defiantly needed degreasing before whitening. Acetone is an excellent degreaser but is a little too expensive for larger skulls, Ammonia (10%) works fairly well as a degreaser though and is probably the most practical choice for large skulls, such as this wild boar,
Also, I wouldn't bother with the peroxide creme stuff... a plain H2O2 solution found in any drugstore (3-4%) whitens wonderfully given a little time.
by the looks of it, when i first saw the skull it looked almost like wood and after the 3 hours it looked like more of a dark ivory color i think after a few more coats and a few more days it should be pretty light
I have never done this but bleaching and then set it out in the sun and bleaching again, would get it perty white from what I have heard the degresing part on the comment below makes sence also, from just cleaning stuff i always degrese then bleach and it gets any thing white, where Im from we have red clay dirt and it stains stuff perty good so the peroxide was probably fighting against some stainig from the dirt you had it in, you are on the right path DNA loves your deer jerky!!
The dark color on the skull is grease,it needs degreased BEFORE you use Peroxide.Bleach will slowly degrade the bone over time,in weeks the bone will start flaking off.Pigs are the HARDEST to degrease and takes time..
Yeah, I am learning a lot right now, and I figured the trial and error experience should be on a pig that is not considered a trophy size animal. Click on my usernme and you can see the video of the finished project. It turned out really good. I did do a REALLY deep clean on the skull after i used the bleach and it seems to be doing just fine....but it hasnt been too long. I will definitely give the dedgreaser a shot next time. Thanks for the advice!...
Can anyone tell me if this message gets posted to YOUTUBE? I posted 4 others and they were up in no time....But this vid is no where other than my account page..???????????
