Skull Mounts Process

[IceColdEric]

Got one going this afternoon. This is my 5-6th one. My general steps are listed below. Seems to work pretty good. I know there is million ways to do it. You guys do anything different?

1. SKIN
2. Wrap bottom rack.
3. Oxyclean boil
4. Pressure washer to blow loose flesh/meat
5. Peroxide boil

How long does it take to boil off all the flesh?

I generally bring it to a boil then turn it down for another 5-10 mins. The boils just loosens everything. Pressure washer does most of the work!

Never tried boiling with oxyclean or peroxide. Just skinned, boiled, pressure wash, coat skull in paste of oxyclean, let sit for a week or two and rinse off oxyclean.

Probably not the best method by far, but it worked.

Well here is after Oxy boil and pressure wash. Hope to hit it with the Peroxide tomorrow.

Yes, I wrap the bottom with shrink wrap electrical tape to prevent fading. Kinda depends on rack but I try to get no more than inch of the rack in the water.

I have used aluminum foil on the main beam to keep heat from coming up side pot.
