don't mean to step on your toes but bearskulls are extremely greasy and need to go through a degreasing process. Boiling a skull is actually not the best method and I never do it. It can cause too much bone damage and boils the fat and blood right into the skull. There are better methods out there. Also don't forget to put the skull in a bleaching bath after all the fat has been removed.
I would say that if three bear skulls to a batch is enough to avoid a grease fire you have already degreased you skull.
your making no sense Tweedy. Explain that grease fire theory of yours.
If you dont boil your bear skulls, What is your method for cleaning one. I have one I would like to do.
really the best way to clean your skulls is with beetles either wholesale or privatelty.there are several places who do this for taxidermist,you could permanantly damage specimen if your to over boil.Not to mention the labor of cleaning ive been there.
