Not a Taxi but enjoy being around it. Most of the teeth fall out during the degreasing process. I set the skull in a container with just enoug peroxide to submerge the teeth till desired whiteness then glue teeth back in place.

I wonder if all that grease will eventually come through that bronze coating or make it peel or flake off? Any thoughts on that blindluck?

Should be no issues, That first picture was before I degreased.

The bronze metal paint dies to a hard metal coat which can be burnished and left outdoors.  Nothing will penetrate through that metal coating now.   IMO he didn't even have to degrease the skull.   Nice work!

This is probably a dumb question, what is IMO people refer to?
