My first post here but I thought this was an interesting topic. I have boiled many skulls in the past. I first skin them out and remove the eyeballs and all lose meat I can. Then I take a close hanger to the brain and flush it all out. I then boil in borax changing the water every twenty minutes or so. It has been a while since I have done this but thats about the scope of it. All my mounts have turned out great also.
I think rost is just rying to scare us, being in the bussiness and all, he and other taxidermist lose money if we learn to do them our selves.
I dont even put that much effort into it and mine come out beautiful.
All I do is skin and remove the lower jaw, and boil for about 3 or 4 hours in water with dish detergent, take the head out and pressure wash it spotless, then dump the water and add fresh water with peroxide and boil for another 30 minutes, thats it. SIMPLE.
