Another thing you can do is fill a tub with plain water and drape a trash bag over the top and place your skulll into it.  Then pour enough strong peroxide into the bag to fill and cover all the nooks and crannies.  Takes probably 20% of what it would to fill the tub. But yet still gets the whole skull unlike a paste.

   I have done something similar. I would just add that, if it is something pointy, sharp protrusions, antlers, or fairly heavy, don't use a cheap plastic bag. Go find one of those heavy duty contractor type bags and use that. They are very hard to puncture

are you adding the powder with the cream?  Isn't that what activates it a little better?  I have tried a mustard bottle to squirt the paste into hard to get spots, but it still really doesn't work.

   With the beauty salon stuff. I buy the 40 VOL developer. I do not use the cream. I also mix it with Basic White to make the paste.
