Bleached Skull
Ironhead:
I haven't seen any mention of removing the brains, if you don't do it before boiling it is a real biatch later and it stinks to high heaven.
PolarBear:
I simmer the head first to loosen the membrane and then hit it with the pressure washer right in the hole. It will blast those brains and mambrane right out and they come out in chunks instead of a big glob of snot that tends to always land on your face. It works good on the nasal cavity as well. Make sure to get every piece of junk out of every hiding spot on the head or it will eventually stink and attract bugs. I even use dental picks to clean the stuff from between and inside the teeth and scrape off the black build-up.
boneaddict:
Works either way.
smdave:
Thank you all for the help. and I thought it would be a good topic for others.
Miles, I am talking about doing the whole skull.

When I did my bear skull, I got all the meat off I could, boiled it for a bit...poked a knife by the base of the skull where it connects to the neck and sliced out alot of the brains (boiled, repeated process)..then once it was all clean I painted on hair lightener (perioxide) from a style salon. I placed it in the sun for a week or two, continuing to paint the stuff on and it turned out great. Doesnt stink, a nice white, im happy with it.
