Default RE: Beetle versus boil and backing options

Phade,

I just did an 8 point european skull mount for my son last night... I boiled it for about an hour and a half, removing it approximately every 15 minutes and scaping loose meat off. I used a "stock pot" (big pan) and 4 scopes of borax and 1 scope of oxy clean. I mixed the borax and oxy clean in warm water in a 1 gallon milk container and then added it to the pan and started to "cook". I then rinsed the skull off with cold water and let dry over night. The mount came out great, very tight and very white... I think the oxy clean worked to cut the grease and as a whiting agent... I don't think I'll even have to use peroxide...
