Default RE: cleaning a skull

If you are using peroxide,Use 40 volume that is what hair dresser's use to bleach hair.
I use the 40 volume stuff on skull mount's I did,,Be carefull not to touch the antler's because it will bleach them as well,Keep a can of clean water in case you do touch the antler's and wipe them right away with a clean rag.
When I do it I use a cotton swab and rubber gloves,When I'm done I set it in full sunlight it help's the bleaching as it dries.
It will come out bone white,I like the resault's I get with it.
For the 40 volum peroxide check with a local hair dresser,explain what you want it for and they will usually help you out with getting you some.
Good Luck To You
