RE: What to soak the skull in?
Sal-Soda works good, that is what we have always used. Boil it in there for a while. Now is the best and easiest way that we have found. After you boil...jump in your truck right away...head to the nearest car was...drop in a couple of quarters and blast all fo the crap off!! You can save the trip if you have your own pressure washer of course. That seems to work really well.
