How to strip deer skull for mounting?

Submitted by Brian P. on 12/4/00. ( ) 207.243.107.27

I have killed a nice nine point and I would like to know how to do a skull mount? Like how long to boil, and what to do afterwards?

Sal Soda from WASCO

Brian try WASCO's Sal Soda. It works really great, but be sure to keep the boiling of the skull outside the house. I boil for 30 mins or less after I have removed the cape and as much tissue as possible. After boiling and cleaning any remaining tissue off, I coat with peroxide (on the skull only!) and then set it out in the bright sunlight for the day. I attach the skull to a backing board and spray a satin semi-gloss on the antlers to finish them off. I'm sure you can find more details here in the archives.....Good Luck and Happy Holidays! Clint
