[ncdeerhunter2002]

I have a buck acustomer killed and found a month later in a creek it's antler was down in the mud and was stained with it reddish orange, I am trying to bleach it with 40 peroxide and powder, the first time took some out now got more onit, I have not wrapped it in plastic wrap, got it out in the sun, will wrapping it and keep it from drying out as fast and do a better job, just curiose, a skull seems faster to do than this.

You will have to paint them. white out and go from there with artist oils.

The hair bleach works with heat.

No need to bleach, try a light wash in warm water and dawn. If that doesn't help you , then you are going to have to re-color them.

Thanks, I will try all, it got them a little whiter, but it is still in deep in the grain,I will do the heat wrapping method next then wash them good.
