48 hours in 130*~ water with dawn and biz, decent skim of grease at the water. Didn't want to go past 48 hours, was getting nervous about the skull holding together. On the porch whitening with some hair peroxide and whitener per my other skulls. Worst case I bet I got rid of that smell. Best...
The antlers and skull feel like a year old shed or dead head. You can see cracks in the antler where they’ve been exposed to too much weather.
That’s my guess on the cracks in the pedicles.
Got it at 120* for 24 hours to start. Cautiously optimistic that temp is low enough to not harm...
I’m degreasing with a sous vide and some dawn detergent. Sprinkle of Biz bleach powder. I have done a mess of other heads with Biz bleach, and no damage to the skulls. Think 120* or so, hoping it will not be too much for the weakened bone.

Anytime fishing is a good time but…

Up for a few days. Checking some sights out in the park. Reading about some of the drama with the late season stuff. As much as I hate getting out of the house, I do enjoy playing tourist now and then.
Most importantly… smashing cans of this stuff.
Could someone post some close-ups of a dermestid-cleaned skull? Thinking like the back of the skull (that nasty tendon connection point), vertebrae area, ears, etc.
Got my 2022 bull back (long-story) and I’m trying to judge the quality of work.
Deep down I know the answer. Just want to...
Kind of at a weird, frustrating point of my relationship with my dad. Try thinking about it and it kind of gets me irritated.
Hoping it passes quickly and I can enjoy him for what he is/was vs what I wanted him to be.
Anyways, not that anyone asked about that sh*t.
