Boiling euro twice?

[millerwheeler]

Here is  another with same process his YouTube videos use  make sure you tape antlers tight and no open flame hits the antlers , I have boiled some
Several times and always had great results

all the nose cartilage is gone ? How is that great results ?

Of course if you want to keep the nose cartridge Beetles are the way to go when I take out the soft tissue crap it just slides right out and still looks great for me saving whatever a euro cost these days . I do agree the nose stuff inside looks cool when done with Beetles but not everyone spends 200$ every time they want one is all

You don't want the cartilage to stay, you'd like the fine nasal bone to stay if possible, but definitely not a deal breaker by any means for me.

How long do they stay white and stink free when you just boil them? Or just simmer them? Whatever the word is. How do you degrease them? A short time in a simmer might get the meat off but it’s not getting all the grease out.

I simmer in dish soap for an hour on, pick crap off until carpel tunnel sets in, repeat until it’s pretty darn oil free. Pressure wash a bit to get brains and nasal cleared. Careful if you wanna retain the olfactory structure which is difficult without beetles.
Clean water simmer again with disinfectant like baking soda and maybe a cap of bleach to start whitening. One it’s spic n span I let dry and paint in a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda or that hairdresser stuff 40 works great. Use old toothbrush inside and out to kill anything especially smells. My wife has an excellent sniffer.

Anyway, when I can’t get them really clean, I do what is pictured. This was a nice deadhead I found while pheasant hunting Palouse. I couldn’t get it perfect so I ended up painting the entire skull and then the kids helped me detail out. Got another couple I did like this they turn out good and the wife let’s them in the house. Totally sealed with coats of paint. Use tinfoil while simmering and never let bases touch  water.

I soak it in oxi clean / dawn for couple weeks to degrease then boil . Mop and glow coat when done and I have ones from 5 years ago when I started doin my own and all white as when I did them  and always smell free I don’t play when it comes too that lol
