Excellent post OK, and great looking skulls! You should try some SAL SODA next time, I bet it cuts your boiling time in 1/3. Its relatively cheap too.

Remove all meat that you can, boil but try and keep as buch antler out as you can. Dont boil to long. You will have to do a little scraping from time to time. I remove brains with a wire and aircompressor air. If the teeth fall out glue back in with super glue. DONT soak in bleach and water, it slowly flakes the bone. Use 40% salon peroxide mixed with water. Keep antlers out nof solution. I wrap paper towles around the bases under the burr and keep wetted with solution, it will wick into the towles if you let them hang in solution. Soak for several days. rinse with water and let it sit in the sun for about a week. Get some Modge podge from a hobby store and seal the skull with it, the more you add the glossier. It looks like elmers white glue when put on but dries clear. be carful with the nasal bones they are very brittle and break easy.
