Default Bleaching hog teeth

OK.. first time doing this.... how much bleach and for how long do you bleach the teeth?

Also, if I had a deer skull, how would you bleach the skull but not effect the antlers?

Don't use bleach!!!

Use peroxide on the deer skull.

You shouldn't need to whiten the tusks... Wait, you didn't boil them is spagetti sauce did you?

no no no...... its not spaghetti sauce...... its tomato sauce with garlic n sausage....

The wetters still have a black stain on them.... they are currently sitting in a pot with dishwasher detergent to help remove rest of yucky stuff......

cutters are looking fantastic though, they came out real smoothly.... wetters had to give a real good tug, even after boiling twice and boiling for a coupla hours on the last go round.....

Is the black stain the 'gum line' stain? I think you should leave it on there... adds character. It took that pig years and years of bad dental hygiene to get that 'patina'. [8D] Plus your piggie has big enough tusks that you don't have to pretend they were bigger than the really were.

Umm.. I think you went off the deep end a long time ago.. but that's another story for another day.

What do you think about organizing a HuntingNet.Com Hawg hunt?
