after boiling everything should be loose enough that a garden hose should be just fine. As for the peroxide part i couldn't tell ya, i didn't use any on mine.

i put a little dishwashing liquid in my water before i boil. it helps to keep the fat from cooking into the skull, and discoloring it, i also use a turkey cooker. I paint mine but not just matte white, i like to get the airbrush out, and give it a nice natural look with some tans and light browns
