Don't get it on you.  It doesn't wash off and will burn the *censored* out of you.  Usually 8 -12 hous is all you need.  Wicked stuff!

Turn the skull upside down.  That's what it's supposed to look like.  :chuckle:

Get a stick or something along those lines.  Stick it up in that hole at the base of the skull and scramble the brains.  Them hose them out.  Sometimes I will get a coat hanger.  Cut about an 16" section out and bend it in half.  I than put the two ends in a drill and put it inside the brain cavity and really scramble the brains.  Then hose them out.  Comes out like pudding!

What about just throwing it in the bushes beyond the yard? How long will it take for the ants, flies, and bugs to clean it allout?

too long...Michelle's technique is quickest.  It only take a few minutes with a stick and a hose.  keep your mouth closed during the hosing part...tends to spray back pretty good and I always seem to wind up dry heaving and spitting.

Well now that all depends.  If their are coons, cats, dogs, and possums to help clean it than not all that long.  Of course you also get to play the game of find whats left of my skull.  :yike:

I've learned that if you leave it in the skull a week in a bag and than pull the brains out it looks like rice pudding once the maggots hatch.  :drool:

another thing you can do is use the new fake skulls... they are bullet proof and the look twice as good... and you dont have to mess with boiling or beetles...

Why use a fake skull when you can have the real thing.  The cost isn't going to be a whole lot different.

I've done the boiling method and it worked good for me, took a while. Before I did it I researched it to read about the pros and cons of it, the bad thing about it is you can actually ruin the skull by boiling it to long and then it will fall apart. As far as the brains used the wife's fillet knife and she was not to happy about it but it worked really good, the nasal passages were another tricky thing, I used a piece of safety wire with a hook on the end and took my time so that I didn't break any bones.  I used peroxide to bleach the skull and sat it in the sun for an hour and repeated till I got the skull as white as I wanted. then I sprayed a clear coat over it.
