When you boil a skull your cooking the grease into the skull and degrading the bone

Other than beetles....which are unrealistic for everyone to use, is there another method you would suggest.  The Maceration process is down right nasty....and off the table for this guy.   :chuckle: :chuckle:  That almost cost me my marriage one year.

A rolling boil maybe - but a simmer renders the fat it does not cook it "into" the bone.

Buy a fish tank heater and a bucket and never worry again. Also, you are never really degreasing a skull when you simmer in blue dawn dish soap, a proper degrease will take around 3 weeks at 100-120 degrees.

Do yourself a favor and get a set of picks from Amazon or harbor freight. Cheap and eally helps with the meat on the back or the skull. 

Also, simmering twice will not hurt anything.

We do a few skulls a year and I’ve found that a pressure washer works the best after light boil.

Be advised, boiling the skull in the kitchen,  :bdid:
may get you in trouble with the missus. It took a week to get that nasty smell out  :yike:

I wish I had saved the head of my sons first deer he shot last weekend. Went out with the trash on Tuesday. I'd like to have cleaned it then do a spray paint hydro dip. Watched several YouTube videos on how to do it today. I think they look cool.
God Bless,
Scott
