[QUOTE="duckduckgoose, post: 311165, member: 474"] Just an update...I put the skull back in low simmer with lots of dawn dish soap and borax last night for 3 hours. Then I left warm bucket in garage overnight. It did help some, but skull still has a strange color. I have never had this problem before. Today I dried them and to whiten I make a paste with Clairol Basic White Powder and Clairol 40 liquid. Has worked very well in the past. On the degreasing .... I have always done the short 2 hour simmer for deer skulls and have had good results. Overtime I may find yellowing will begin to occur? I have done Coyote, Fox, fisher, and coon skulls as well. Through reading online, it sounds like they are alot more difficult to degrease. Those skulls I have soaked in acetone for several weeks. [/QUOTE]
