Default European mount

Here is my first European mount. Boiled his head in bleach water for about 3 hrs. Pretty simple and a cheap way to display a rack and I think they look cool. Any of you guys try this?

I've done my own european mounts before. They look real nice. I used a water/hydrogen peroxide to bleach mine, though. Makes em nice and white.

You can still put the skull in plain drug store peroxide to whiten it further. I soak mine about 12 hours then place in the sun. The sun may do as much as the peroxide, but they sure turn out white. I have found though that not all skulls will bleach as white as others. I don't know what the difference would be, but after 30+ skulls, there is a difference.

So how does this work? You take the head with the skin and everything and boil it or do you have to skin the head as much as possible and remove eyes, ears and any brain matter before boiling.

Then as I understand it the head gets soaked in peroxide. Then out in the sun.
