Anybody with an idea how to degrease a huge skull (and I mean a  H U G E  skull, .... like an elephant....)?

It is almost clean, only a quarter of bone shows fat.

Nearly not possible to put this monster in a drum, too large.

Any help and ideas would be appreciated!

I've seen people use pressure washers to push out the grease on a fresher skull.

LIKE an elephant, or IS an elephant? Cheesy Cheesy

...and I mean a H U G E skull

Seriously, that thing is 20 years old, not really fresh  Wink
It looks Ok to me, but the grease is in the bonestructure. Perhaps I should bury it and wait a few more years...

Then you'll have to worry about iron stains. . .
20 years old I wouldn't touch it with a power washer. . .


BUT WHAT IS IT!?! Grin
