Ummm, thanks for the advice boys! I like the variety, one I don't have access to beatles and don't want to send out for any. I did boil my skull because that is the way I found to do it online here, I understand the risk of damage so I kept the water below boiling it was more of a simmer. I put in about two cups of borax with the water and let it go for about a 1-2 hours. I pulled it out and removed a lot of flesh, sprayed it out scrambled the brains. What I'm left with is and what seems to be is cartlidge in the nooks and crannys of the underside of the skull. Not to mention a bit a membrane left in the brain cavity.

Will the remaining flesh/cartlidge dry up in the drying period(which I have it sitting out now) enough to scrape away with lets say a wire brush or knife?
