How do you get the skin off a head?

Submitted by Austin on 5/15/02. ( ) 67.234.8.136

I like to collect animal bones, teeth, skulls, etc. My Dad's having a pig roast and says I can have the head. What would I have to do to get all the skin off? Use a knife, acids, what? If it's acods, let me know what type. Thanks.

Cut off all extraneous meat with a knife and then either (1) put it in a bucket of water for a month or so and when you take it out, wash any meat still clinging on OFF with a hose or (2) take it out in the woods and set it on a tarp. Fold the tarp over it, but not air tight so that bugs and flies can fill their pantries. In a few months, all you'll need to do is bleach it.


I am very impressed George

Such a polite answer with no mention of the archives!


Just a weak moment, Troy

Wire it down or you won't have anything TO bleach.

Just set on top of a fire ant hill and let them clean it for you
