Free: Contests & Raffles.
Ok, thanks guys. Gonna give it a go this weekend. Will keep you posted!
Right. I did my bull last year with volume 40 and basic white from sally's beauty supply. Am gonna try just volume 40 this year. I ordered the gel from amazon.
I use Oxyclean and dawn soap as mentioned above. Simmer only never boil as too much heat will make it brittle. You only need to simmer 45 minutes to an hour. Pressure wash the majority off and use picks and clean out everything else. Sounds like you may have already cooked it too long.
If you guys have high volume peroxide make the kids some elephant toothpaste in this cold air and it will look awesome! You know, after you do your mounts and have some left over. Lol
How long are you boiling? I felt like i probably boiled too long, but it seemed the minimum for the meat to come off.
Remember to use Oxiclean NOT Oxyclean. Available at Walmart.
Thats what i used last year but i feel like it made the skull kinda chalky. Wanted a more smooth skull look i guess. Anyways... soaked my bull in hot tap water and dawn dish soap for about a week (wife got pretty tiree of it in the basement) so let it dry and painted on the volume 40 cream and covered with a garbage bag. Checked every day and applied.more for 3 days. I washed it off today. Not as white as i would like. Probably needed to degrease more. Might just go with the volume 40 mixed with basic white to finish it off as it seems like its taking a long time. What do you guys think?
