Turn er up to boiling and get er done in an hour.
I Know, Michelle Nelson taxidermy makes it look fool proof. Five days into it darn near done. I don't know I guess I will just keep it in there till something happens or the horns melt.
Yes Michelle definitely knows the process but even she has given up on this method, and now sends her skulls off to a guy who cleans them with beetles.
Simply boiling a skull, etc. in water in not sufficient to make the maceration process work. If you add an enzyme soap such as Biz it will speed up the process considerably. Keep your water temperature just below boiling for best results. Boiling for a long period of time can cause a skull to shrink.
So I placed my deer head skinned eyes out ect. in water at a constant 85 deg last Thursday and nothing seems to be happening. I changed a 1/4 of the water out at day 5, when you pull it out it looks kind of greyish but the meat is not coming off. I expected in 8 days meat to be rotting off but no it just smells bad. Any thoughts?
