Very nice, were they boiled??? Mark

[TheHunt]

Yes, tell us the process you used

[cougkilr]

Yep boiled the heads, first skin everything that you can off of the head and then boil it until all of the crap starts to fall off, I usually let it boil for a while the try to pull some of it of and then return it to the boiling water, then I spray it out and off with a hose or even better a pressure washer to get the remaining head matter off the skull, just be careful when using a pressure washer, but it works great.  Next we use a powder from a taxidermist magazine called magnesium carbonate and make a pste with that and high % peroxide, i cant remember the % but you can not buy it at normal stors, i think its 20 something %, after you make the paste slap it on the skull, cover everywhere that you want white and let it dry for a day or two until it will flake off, and thats all, its a pretty simple process.

[elkaholic_74]

those look sharp! nice job, did you have any trouble with the teeth coming loose or the nose being to fragile during boiling?

[cougkilr]

The teeth stayed in pretty good except for the ivorys and the nose pieces fell off on mine, so I glued them back on when I was finished, I havn't had any problem with the nose pieces becoming fragile before, I know if you use bleech it will make the skull fragile

A big pot to boil the head in, check out Research Mannikins online and order some Magnesium carbonate and get some high % peroxide, i think like 28% and that should get you started
