I've heard that you can use hydrogen peroxide to bleach a skull and i've seen bleaching kits. What's the best to bleach a skull?

If you use the 50% stuff, be very careful and wear gloves, as you can get a burn on your skin from that stuff. Also wear goggles or protective glasses of some kind, as you dont want it in your eyes either. Ive had some sucess using the plain ol 3% stuff that you can buy at a drug store, and its a lot safer to use.

Because PERSONALLY, I use the 40% stuff and if I can find the 50% stuff, I'd use it as well. The 3% will certainly work, but time is money and using the proper chemicals exercising good safety protocols will save you time AND money.
